"personally I think this one is comparably disappointing"

Brickset Reviews

"Overall, the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron Avengers Hydra Showdown (76030) set is somewhat bland."

The Brick Fan

Ecosystem

76031 The Hulk Buster Smash — 76031 is slightly more expensive but more exciting than 76030; however, 76030 appeals as a more affordable option for those not wanting to buy larger sets.

76042 SHIELD Helicarrier — Hawkeye only appears in this set and the Helicarrier; this set is the cheapest way to acquire Hawkeye and may appeal to those unwilling to spend on the more expensive Helicarrier.

76038 Attack on Avengers Tower — Thor appears in both sets; this set is more play-focused while the tower set would offer more display value.

76041 The Hydra Fortress Smash — Hydra Henchman appears in both sets; this set offers a cheaper way to acquire the minifigure for army building.

Value drivers

Brickset Reviews: Hawkeye, as the cheapest way to acquire this updated figure outside the expensive 76042 SHIELD Helicarrier.

Exclusivity

Brickset Reviews: Wide retail / standard Marvel Super Heroes wave release

The Brick Fan: Not exclusive. Thor appears in 76038, Hawkeye appears in 76042, and the Hydra Henchman appears in 76041.

Resale

Brickset Reviews: No explicit mention; typical Age of Ultron set from 2015.
