LEGO City Advent Calendar is about typical value for its size
Average
#130 of 213 City sets with 200–499 pieces
The 2016 advent calendar has seven minifigures, nearly three times the usual rate for City sets with 200–499 pieces. But it has about half the plastic per dollar of its group, builders rate it 3.5 of 5, and at $29.99 it costs roughly 42% more than similar contents, so it only just holds on to average.
