Fire Starter Set is good value for a City set
Good value
#59 of 199 City sets under 200 pieces
Four minifigures for $9.99 is about three times the usual rate for a City set under 200 pieces, but this starter set is otherwise ordinary: plastic per dollar is slightly below its group and builders rate it 3.5 of 5, below most. It costs about 16% less than similar contents, which leaves it just under good value.
