Average

#133 of 213 City sets with 200–499 pieces

The 2023 advent calendar packs seven minifigures, about three times the usual rate for City sets with 200–499 pieces. But it has less than half the plastic per dollar of its group, a 3.7 rating, and at $34.99 costs roughly 45% more than similar contents, which leaves it near the bottom of average.
