Average

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

Motorized sets score low here because motors cost a lot but add few pieces, and this licensed Airbus helicopter shows it in plastic per dollar, about 16% under the norm for big Technic sets. Pieces are fine at about 83 per $10 and builders rate it 4.2 of 5, but at $209.99 it costs about 44% more than similar contents.

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