H.E.R.B.I.E. getting a 747-piece set before half the Fantastic Four got decent minifigs is a choice — and somehow LEGO® pulled it off well enough to make you question your priorities.
Is the price fair?BFair for the piece count, but you're paying flagship prices for LEGO®'s most niche Fantastic Four character.
Will you love it?C-Unless H.E.R.B.I.E. lives rent-free in your head, the lack of minifigs will quietly bother you.
Holds its value?C-Character-model sets without minifigs rarely move secondary market — don't bank on appreciation here.

The Full Take
The little robot nobody asked for is now the centerpiece of a $75 set, and the bizarre part is that it works. The build leans into H.E.R.B.I.E.'s rounded, retro-sci-fi silhouette with enough technique to keep experienced hands busy across 747 pieces. Shelf presence is quirky rather than commanding — it reads as a conversation piece, not a showstopper. No minifigs means no Reed, no Sue, no Johnny, no Ben — that absence stings for a Fantastic Four property launch. The price is defensible without being exciting, and secondary market history for character-model sets like this is mixed at best. What carries it is the sheer audacity of the subject choice; if you love the FF lore deep enough to know H.E.R.B.I.E. by name, this set was made for exactly you.
