Police Train Heist gives a little less than similar sets
Below average
#15 of 23 City sets with 1,000+ pieces
Some of this motorized train set’s $199.99 price goes into motor parts rather than bricks, so it looks weak on these measures: about 65 pieces per $10 against a typical 79 for City sets with 1,000+ pieces, and roughly $27 more than similar contents usually cost. Early ratings are excellent (4.7 of 5, though from only six builders), so it suits someone who wants a powered train more than maximum value.
Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
