Hi i am wondering why sets always been compared to each other or their value is measured in price per piece. I know this is a value can be seen on most of Legos sets. Sets with many pieces and a good price per piece ratio (ppp) have mostly VERY small pieces. Examples? The new Technic crane, ~ 1000 pins, Robie House, ~700 1x2 plates, and Winter Village sets in general. Just compare the volume/weight of pieces you will get with the new Sydney Opera houes. Many large pieces. Do not get me wrong, i like and need the small ones, but large pieces are harder and more cost intensive to produce. They take much more space in the molding machine plus they ned more ABS. Its not the number of pieces that makes it valuable. I do not have significant data but my feeling says there are many 100bucks/€$£/republican credits sets that have a similar weight althought they do not have a similar parts count. The ppp value only makes sense if that is Legos way to value a set. It does not matter if there are 500 more parts in it if they are only Technic pins or 1x1 round plates. What do you think? Dino
