Project Hail Mary is about typical value for its size
Average
#21 of 34 Icons sets with 200–999 pieces
Early builders rate Project Hail Mary 4.5 of 5, near the top of Icons sets with 200–999 pieces, and its two minifigures are a plus where the typical set this size has none. But it has about 15% less plastic per dollar than usual, fewer pieces per $10 (82 against 94), and costs roughly 14% more than its contents usually would, which leaves it average.
