Below average

#160 of 213 City sets with 200–499 pieces

The 2017 advent calendar gives six minifigures, well over twice the usual rate for City sets with 200–499 pieces. But it has less than half the plastic per dollar of its group, builders rate it just 3.4 of 5, and at $29.99 it costs roughly 57% more than similar contents, so it scores below average.
