Good value

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

Motorized sets tend to score low here because motors cost a lot but add few pieces, so this licensed CLAAS does well to reach good value. Its 4.5 of 5 rating from 426 builders beats 96% of big Technic sets, while pieces per $10 (78) and plastic per dollar are about typical. At $179.99 it costs roughly 29% more than similar contents, about $40 extra.

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