#87 of 106 City sets with 500–999 pieces

Eight minifigures and a typical 4.1 rating can’t rescue this ship’s value. At $149.99 it gives about 38 pieces per $10, little more than half the 67 typical for a larger City set, and it costs roughly 39% more than sets with similar contents, about $42 extra.
