Poor value

#20 of 20 Marvel sets with 1,000+ pieces

The big Hulkbuster ranks last of 19 large Marvel sets: 64 pieces per $10 against a typical 87, about 25% less plastic per dollar, a single minifigure, and a 3.8 of 5 rating below most of its group. At $549.99 it costs about $199 more than its contents would usually sell for, so buy it for the display, not the value.
