Dang. It’s so fun to do this stuff on the last day of work before Xmas.
Avg year: 1999.00
Avg MSRP: 20.02
Avg Pieces: 172.35
Avg Figs: 1.65
Avg Set Number: 6092.84
Based on the above:
Average set (don’t own it):
Average set I actually own:
Discarding Average Set Number (which seems silly):
And while I can’t numerically factor in “Average theme”, I own the most Star
Wars sets by far-- the most average Star Wars set being:
(that’s both with and without using the set number as a factor)

This set was the closest match to number of parts, number of minifigs and

more besides). My favourite calculate stat is cpp (cents per piece).

So, just go get into the truly nerdy stuff, how did you factor in the deviation
from the mean? That is, if your average number of pieces is 200, and your
average minifig count is 2, then a set that has 203 pieces and 2 figs is MUCH
closer than a set that has 200 pieces and 1 fig, since fig counts vary by FAR
less than piece counts.
For mine, I took a “guestimage” spread, and divided the deviation from the mean
by the breadth of the spread:
Years can vary from 1949 to 2005
MSRP can vary from $0 to $300
Pieces can vary from 0 to 3200
Figs can vary from 0 to 30
Set number can vary from 0 to 11000
(I know the set number thing is technically wrong since we have those
kazillion-digit promo sets, etc, but 11000 seemed like a reasonable topper)
