The City Tower gives about 88 pieces per $10 against a typical 79 for City sets with 1,000+ pieces, and plastic per dollar is close to its group. But builders rate it just 3.3 of 5, lower than nearly all of its group though from only seven ratings, and seven minifigures for $209.99 is below the usual rate, so it scores average.
