Poor value

#66 of 66 Technic sets with 500–999 pieces

Last of 54 mid-size Technic sets on value: this motorized Batmobile puts much of its $189.99 price into motors and hubs rather than pieces, giving about 37 pieces per $10 against a typical 104 and roughly half the usual plastic per dollar. At about twice what similar contents cost, it’s for fans who want the motors; it has too few ratings to count yet.

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

Motors and hubs explain much of the gap.
