Heavy Lift Helicopter gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#75 of 81 Technic sets with 1,000+ pieces
This motorized helicopter puts part of its $139.99 price into motors rather than pieces, so it scores poorly: about 53 pieces per $10 against a typical 77 for big Technic sets and roughly 25% less plastic per dollar. Builders rate it 4.0 of 5, but it costs about 72% more than similar contents.
Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
