Average

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

This licensed Volvo hauler is motorized, and motors cost a lot but add few pieces, so it gives only about 67 pieces per $10 against a typical 77 for big Technic sets. Plastic per dollar is a little above average and 155 builders rate it 4.2 of 5, but at $249.99 it costs about 38% more than similar contents, leaving it average.

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