Below average

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

The big R2-D2 gives a few more pieces per $10 than usual (78 against 72), and builders rate it a typical 4.2 of 5. But one minifigure at $239.99, about 11% less plastic per dollar than similar big Star Wars sets, and a price roughly 21% above its contents’ usual cost (around $198) put it below average.
