Average

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

The Atari 2600 has about 16% more plastic per dollar than a typical big Icons set, but that’s offset elsewhere: pieces per $10 are slightly low (92 against 97), one minifigure is under half the usual rate, and its 4.0 rating trails most of the group. Priced close to what its contents usually cost, it lands at average.
