LEGO City Advent Calendar is about typical value for its size
Average
#113 of 213 City sets with 200–499 pieces
The 2018 advent calendar gives six minifigures, well over twice the usual rate, and 78 pieces per $10 against a typical 65 for City sets with 200–499 pieces. But it has less than half the plastic per dollar of its group, a 3.6 rating, and at $29.99 costs roughly 49% more than similar contents, so it scores toward the low end of average.
