Great value

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

Rivendell’s great-value score comes from everything except the plastic: more than four times the minifigures per dollar of a typical big Icons set, about 111 pieces per $10 against a typical 97, and one of the best-rated builds in its group (4.7 of 5). Its plastic per dollar is only about average for sets this size, but at $499.99 it still costs around 20% less than its contents would usually sell for.
