LEGO City Advent Calendar is about typical value for its size
Average
#139 of 213 City sets with 200–499 pieces
The 2015 advent calendar gives six minifigures, more than twice the usual rate for City sets with 200–499 pieces, and pieces per $10 are exactly typical. But it has less than half the plastic per dollar of its group, and at $29.99 it costs roughly 55% more than similar contents, so it scores below average.
