Eight minifigures give this train set a strong figure rate, about 5.6 per $100 against a typical 3.5 for a big Harry Potter set, and its plastic per dollar is about average. But pieces per $10 are among the lowest in the group (75 against 84) and its 4.0 rating is below the usual 4.2, so it lands below average.
