Great value

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

Avengers Tower tops the 19 big Marvel sets, mostly because of its 32 minifigures: about 5.8 per $100, nearly twice the group’s usual 3.1. It also gives a bit more plastic per dollar and more pieces per $10 (94 against 87) than typical, and at $499.99 it costs about $142 less than its contents would usually sell for. Builders rate it 4.4 of 5, right on par.
