Great value

#1 of 43 Marvel sets with 500–999 pieces

Thor’s Hammer shares first place among 40 Marvel sets with 500–999 pieces, and plastic is the reason: it gives twice the plastic per dollar of a typical set its size, along with 85 pieces per $10 against a usual 72. It has only one minifigure, but builders rate it 4.3 of 5 and it costs about 24% less than its contents would typically sell for.
