Average

#33 of 71 Minecraft sets with 200–499 pieces

The Ice Spikes gives about 15% more plastic per dollar than a typical mid-size Minecraft set, and builders rate it 4.0 of 5. But two minifigures for $39.99 is about half the usual rate and pieces per $10 (83 against 86) are a little under typical, so with a price close to similar contents it scores average.
