Based on 13 reviews · thin
Three minifigs including classic Crossbones, but $19.99 for 161 pieces in 2017 was already a stretch — the jet is fine, the value wasn't.
Is the price fair?FOverpriced at launch for what's in the box — 161 pieces at $19.99 was a hard sell even in 2017.
Will you love it?B+Crossbones alone makes it worth a look, and the jet is genuinely fun to swoosh around.
Holds its value?C-Flat resale trajectory — nothing here drives secondary market demand.

The Full Take
Captain America Jet Pursuit is one of those Marvel sets that lives and dies by its minifig lineup — and Crossbones in classic comics gear is the clear reason to pick this up. The jet itself is serviceable, a clean little swooshable build that a kid won't complain about, but it's not doing anything architecturally interesting. At launch $19.99 felt padded for what you got, and that price grade reflects it. The love grade tells a different story though: three characters, a fun chase concept, and a playable scale mean the set actually delivers where it counts for someone who just wants a fun Marvel build. It's a C overall because the price undercuts an otherwise likable set — buy it on sale and the calculus shifts considerably.
