LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#42 of 43 Harry Potter sets with 200–499 pieces
This calendar has some of the lowest plastic per dollar and pieces per $10 of any 200–499-piece Harry Potter set: about 46 pieces per $10 against a typical 74, and about 62% less plastic per dollar than usual. Six minifigures help, but at $44.99 it costs about 84% more than its contents would usually sell for, around $24.
