Poor value

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

Bikini Bottom’s three minifigures are a bit above the usual rate, but the rest of its numbers fall short for a big Icons set: about 24% less plastic per dollar than typical, about 80 pieces per $10 against 97, and an early 3.9 rating. At $219.99 it costs roughly 18% more than its contents usually would, which makes it poor value.
