Liebherr R 9800 is about typical value for its size
Average
#46 of 81 Technic sets with 1,000+ pieces
This motorized Liebherr puts much of its $449.99 price into motors and hubs rather than pieces, giving about 69 pieces per $10 against a typical 77 for big Technic sets. Builders rate it 4.3 of 5 from 283 ratings, but it costs about 57% more than similar contents, so it’s average value; buy it for the motors, not the value.
Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
