Poor value

#60 of 66 Technic sets with 500–999 pieces

Much of this motorized Porsche race car’s $169.99 price goes into motors and hubs rather than pieces, so it scores poorly: about 46 pieces per $10 against a typical 104 for mid-size Technic sets and roughly a third less plastic per dollar. It costs about 74% more than similar contents, so it makes sense only if you want the motors.

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

Is the price fair for what’s in the box?

Sets with its pieces, plastic and minifigures usually cost about $101. Each brick is $25.

Motors and hubs explain much of the gap.
