#74 of 106 Icons sets with 1,000+ pieces
Four minifigures give the DC-3 twice the usual figure rate for a big Icons set, and its early 4.2 rating is typical. But it has about 11% less plastic per dollar than usual and fewer pieces per $10 (85 against 97), which tips it just below average at $219.99.
