#157 of 213 City sets with 200–499 pieces

No City set with 200–499 pieces gives more minifigures per dollar than this space people pack: 15 for $39.99, nearly five times the usual rate. But it has about 40 pieces per $10 against a typical 65, much less plastic per dollar (estimated from the parts list), and costs roughly 65% more than similar contents, so it’s below average unless minifigures are the point.
