Good value

#23 of 106 Icons sets with 1,000+ pieces

The Colosseum has no minifigures, but its 9,036 pieces work out to about 126 per $10 against a typical 97 for a big Icons set, with about 20% more plastic per dollar than usual. A typical 4.2 rating and a price close to what its contents usually cost keep it at good value rather than great.
