Average

#65 of 106 City sets with 500–999 pieces

Builders rate this deep sea base 4.1 of 5, right at the norm, and its 64 pieces per $10 are close to typical for City sets with 500–999 pieces. But five minifigures for $99.99 is about a third below the usual rate, plastic per dollar is a little under its group, and it costs roughly $12 more than similar contents, so it scores below average.
