Poor value

#69 of 81 Technic sets with 1,000+ pieces

Volvo L350F Wheel Loader scores 24, poor value among 81 Technic sets with 1,000+ pieces. Its strongest point is builder rating, better than 96% of them, and its weakest is price per piece (4%).

Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
