Air Base gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#96 of 106 City sets with 500–999 pieces
Six minifigures put Air Base at about the usual figure rate for a larger City set, but little else works in its favor. It gives about 45 pieces per $10 against a typical 67, roughly 31% less plastic per dollar and a 3.5 rating against 4.1, and $89.99 is about 40% more than similar contents usually cost.
