Poor value

#83 of 83 Star Wars sets with 1,000+ pieces

Much of Droid Commander’s $199.99 price goes into motors and hubs rather than bricks, so it ranks last of 69 big Star Wars sets on value. It gives about 45 pieces per $10 against a typical 72 and no minifigures, and costs roughly 72% more than its pieces and plastic would usually sell for. It makes sense if you want a motorized Boost set, not the most build for your money.

Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.

Motors and hubs explain much of the gap.
