Poor value

#150 of 159 Friends sets with 200–499 pieces

Poor value: this advent calendar has about half the plastic per dollar of a typical set and about 60 pieces per $10 against a usual 78, and at $34.99 it costs roughly 68% more than similar contents (around $21). Two figures and a 3.4 rating don’t make up the difference.
