Poor value

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

Last of 66 big Technic sets on value: the Forest Harvester is motorized, and motors cost a lot but add few pieces, so it gives about 50 pieces per $10 against a typical 77 and roughly a third less plastic per dollar. It also costs nearly twice what similar contents sell for, and its 3.8 of 5 rating trails most of its group.

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