Below average

#188 of 213 City sets with 200–499 pieces

This fire set gives only about 46 pieces per $10, well short of the 65 typical for a mid-size City set, which is the main reason it scores below average. Plastic per dollar and minifigures are a little under par, builders rate it 3.7 of 5, and $39.99 is about 20% more than sets with similar contents usually cost.
