Fire Rescue Helicopter gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#195 of 213 City sets with 200–499 pieces
Three minifigures come at exactly the usual rate, but this $39.99 helicopter gives only about 43 pieces per $10 where 65 is typical for a mid-size City set. Builders rate it 3.5 of 5 against 3.9, and it costs about 22% more than similar contents, which tips it into poor value.
