Below average

#162 of 199 City sets under 200 pieces

This $9.99 impulse set has typical plastic per dollar for a small City set, but only 41 pieces, which works out to about 32 pieces per $10 against the usual 57. One minifigure and a below-typical builder rating (3.4 of 5 against 3.7) leave it below average overall, even though the price is about right for what’s in the box.
