Average

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

Being motorized hurts this crane’s numbers, since motors cost a lot but add few pieces: about 66 pieces per $10 against a typical 77 for big Technic sets, and a $149.99 price about 44% above similar contents. Builders rate it 4.3 of 5 from 311 ratings, but it’s below average on value.

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