Good value

#34 of 152 Star Wars sets under 200 pieces

Pieces lift Vader’s mech to good value: about 79 per $10 against a typical 54 for small Star Wars sets, plus roughly 24% more plastic per dollar. At $15.99 it costs about 16% less than its contents usually sell for, but a 3.4 rating and one minifigure, both below the norm, keep it from scoring higher.
