App-Controlled Transformation Vehicle gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#64 of 66 Technic sets with 500–999 pieces
An app-controlled set, so much of its $149.99 price goes into motors and hubs rather than pieces: about 45 pieces per $10, less than half the typical 104 for mid-size Technic sets, and roughly half the usual plastic per dollar. It costs about twice what similar contents sell for, so buy it for the motors, not the value.
Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
