The SHIELD Helicarrier gives a little less than similar sets
Below average
#17 of 20 Marvel sets with 1,000+ pieces
The 2015 SHIELD Helicarrier is a well-rated big set (4.4 of 5 from nearly 290 ratings) with 17 minifigures, slightly above the usual rate. But at $349.99 it gives only 60 pieces per $10 against a typical 87 for big Marvel sets, among the fewest in its group, so it’s below average; buy it for the display, not the value.
