Good value

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

This licensed Unimog earns good value largely through its 4.5 of 5 rating, though that comes from only nine builders so far. It gives about 90 pieces per $10 against a typical 77 for big Technic sets, but plastic per dollar is only slightly above average, and at $129.99 it costs about 15% more than similar contents usually do.
