Below average

#16 of 23 City sets with 1,000+ pieces

Capital City’s 13 minifigures, about 62% above the usual rate for City sets with 1,000+ pieces, are its strong point. But it gives about 60 pieces per $10 against a typical 79 and less plastic per dollar than its group, and builders rate it 3.9 of 5, below most of its group. At $149.99 it costs about 10% more than similar contents, which puts it below average.
