Below average

#139 of 159 Friends sets with 200–499 pieces

Five figures for $29.99 is more than twice the usual rate, but this advent calendar has well under half the plastic per dollar of a typical set, the least in its group, and costs roughly 79% more than similar contents (around $17). With a 3.3 rating, it scores poor value.
