Good value

#57 of 199 City sets under 200 pieces

Builders rate this $9.99 mail plane 4.0 of 5 from 167 ratings, but its 57 pieces per $10 are exactly typical for a City set under 200 pieces and plastic per dollar is only slightly above. It costs about 17% less than similar contents, which leaves it just short of good value.
