James Bond Aston Martin DB5 gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#106 of 106 Icons sets with 1,000+ pieces
The DB5 is the lowest-scoring big Icons set, 98th of 98. It has about 42% less plastic per dollar than typical and about 64 pieces per $10 against 97, both near the bottom of its group, and at $149.99 it costs roughly 69% more than its contents would usually sell for. Builders still rate it 4.2 of 5, so buy it for the car, not the value.
