Not all sets in our database are marked as recommended or not. We currently have 55 sets in Explore that are considered unknown. They are excluded from these calculations.
A set is considered recommended when the majority of reviews recommend it. If you're interested in knowing when a review is considered a recommendation, I keep that reasoning updated in Brick Insights FAQ. I've also written an article detailing the recommendation distribution of all reviews.
Since part prices vary a lot depending on part types, Brick Insights attempts to group similar categories together. We call these meta-categories comparable categories. Explore is bundled into Baby along with these:
The average price per part (PPP) of all Baby sets is 1.45. The average PPP for Explore is 2.15. Meanwhile, the average price per minifig (PPM) in Baby is 19.17 and the average PPM for Explore is 14.53.
All prices are adjusted for inflation.
