Poor value

#45 of 45 Harry Potter sets with 500–999 pieces

The Thestral Family is the lowest-scoring 500–999-piece Harry Potter set, 43rd of 43. It has no minifigures, about 43% less plastic per dollar than typical, and at $69.99 it costs roughly 58% more than its contents would usually sell for, around $44, so it’s one to buy only if you really want the creatures.
