Good value

#37 of 155 Star Wars sets with 200–499 pieces

Five minifigures for $29.99 is about 61% more per dollar than usual, and the Spider Droid also gives about 74 pieces per $10 against a typical 67. Plastic per dollar is typical and the 3.7 rating trails slightly, but a price about 16% below what its contents usually cost keeps it at good value.
