Poor value

#58 of 66 Technic sets with 500–999 pieces

Container Truck scores 18, poor value among 66 Technic sets with 500–999 pieces. Its strongest point is price per piece, better than 20% of them, and its weakest is plastic per dollar (16%).

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