Poor value

#201 of 213 City sets with 200–499 pieces

Builders give Excavator and Truck a typical 3.9 of 5, but two minifigures at $49.99 is less than half the usual rate for a mid-size City set. It also gives about 44 pieces per $10 against a typical 65 and costs about 37% more than similar contents, roughly $14 extra, which makes it poor value.
