Poor value

#207 of 213 City sets with 200–499 pieces

This 2016 Police Patrol Boat costs about twice what sets with similar contents usually sell for: $49.99 against a typical $24. It gives about 28 pieces per $10 against a typical 65 and less than half the usual plastic per dollar for a mid-size City set, though its four minifigures come at roughly the usual rate.
