Good value

#39 of 213 City sets with 200–499 pieces

Strong on bricks but light on minifigures, this $27.99 snowplough gives about 93 pieces per $10 against a typical 65 for City sets with 200–499 pieces and roughly 38% more plastic per dollar than its group. Its single minifigure is well below the usual rate, but a 4.1 rating and a price about 24% below similar contents keep it at good value.
