Poor value

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

The Model T trails a typical big Icons set on every measure: about 31% less plastic per dollar, about 80 pieces per $10 against 97, no minifigures, and a 4.1 rating just under the norm. At $129.99 it costs roughly 36% more than its contents would usually sell for, around $95, which makes it poor value.
