Over the last couple of months I’ve put some focus into a Google Sheet tracking the average piece count as compared to price per constraction set, including Gen 2 of Bionicle and the Star Wars constraction sets. Part of the work behind it has been for fun, but I’m also using it to judge whether I should buy a new constraction set; if it doesn’t meet the average for its price, then I usually won’t buy it.
I’ve attached a few pictures to give you guys an idea of what it’s like.
EDITS: I’ve updated the sheet to contain all 2014 and 2013 constraction sets; in this case, just Hero Factory. I’ve also reformatted the value comparisons between Bionicle and CSW, and now Bionicle and Hero Factory, to be a little easier to read; for example, every US dollar spent on Hero Factory is could buy eighty-seven US cents of Bionicle parts. All of the formulas have also been updated. More pictures are coming soon.
Anyone who wants to see the sheet can do so; however, please PM me individually for the link. The link will remain unposted on this topic to maintain some online privacy.
