979 pieces for $99.99 is the headline, but what you get for that money is where Thor's Hammer quietly stumbles — one minifig and a display piece that looks better in photos than on your shelf.

The Full Take
The price grade here is about as high as it gets, and for good reason — $99.99 for nearly a thousand pieces on a licensed Marvel set is hard to argue with at retail. But price alone doesn't make a set worth owning. Mjolnir as a buildable object is a cool concept, and the scale is impressive enough to command a room, yet up close the surface detail feels sparse for something meant to sit on a shelf permanently. One minifig — Thor, naturally — rounds out the box, but he's not doing much heavy lifting when the set is this display-focused. Builders will find some satisfaction in the shaping techniques used to get that distinctive hammerhead geometry, even if the process is more repetitive than inventive. As a gift or a centerpiece for a Marvel fan's desk, it lands somewhere between "neat" and "is that it?" — impressive from across the room, less so on inspection.
