Explorer Train is about typical value for its size
Average
#12 of 23 City sets with 1,000+ pieces
Part of this motorized train’s $209.99 price goes into motor parts rather than bricks, which these measures don’t reward: it gives about 69 pieces per $10 against a typical 79 for City sets with 1,000+ pieces, and six minifigures is below the usual rate. Builders rate it 4.2 of 5, and the price is close to what similar contents cost, so it still scores average.
Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
