707 pieces for $79.99 in 2018 — City was practically giving this Arctic plane away, and the set delivers a surprisingly complete arctic scene to go with it.
Is the price fair?A+One of the better-priced City sets of its era — $79.99 for this much scene is a fair deal.

Holds its value?C-City arctic sets don't accumulate fans; this one has quietly flatlined on the secondary market.
The Full Take
The Arctic Supply Plane is one of those City sets that punches above its sticker price in almost every way that matters at the register. A big cargo plane, a snowmobile, a research station setup, four minifigs — the scene feels complete rather than stripped down. The build itself won't challenge an experienced builder, but the plane has decent bulk and the arctic theming gives it more personality than a generic vehicle set. Where this stumbles is after the box closes: City sets age quietly, and arctic-themed ones don't tend to develop the collector following that drives resale. Buy it for the build, the display, the gift — just don't park it in a closet expecting it to fund anything later.
