Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 is great value for a Technic set
Great value
#11 of 81 Technic sets with 1,000+ pieces
Motorized, yet still great value: motors usually drag these numbers down, but the Arocs gives roughly 24% more plastic per dollar than other big Technic sets and about 85 pieces per $10 against a typical 77. A 4.5 of 5 rating from 641 builders helps too, even though at $229.99 it costs about 17% more than sets with similar contents.
Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
