Good value

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

Captain America’s Shield packs a lot in for $199.99: about 141 pieces per $10 against a typical 87 for big Marvel sets and roughly 52% more plastic per dollar, and it costs about $75 less than its contents usually would. A single minifigure and a 3.7 of 5 rating, lower than most of its group, keep it from great value.
