LEGO Friends Advent Calendar gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#158 of 159 Friends sets with 200–499 pieces
Poor value: at $29.99 this advent calendar costs about twice what similar contents usually sell for (around $15), with well under half the plastic per dollar of a typical set and about 53 pieces per $10 against a usual 78. One figure is also below the usual rate, though builders rate it 3.6.
