Captain America Construction Figure

"A Skip It by expert standards (BrickScore 42.4), the Captain America Construction Figure nevertheless delights the buyers who actually purchase it, posting a 4.8 out of 5 owner average across 856 ratings and 93% recommendations. If the recipient is a Captain America fan who wants a poseable shelf figure to build and display, the owner data suggests they will be happy. If you are evaluating it as a LEGO set on parts value or display sophistication, the expert consensus says pass."

Expert sources assigned this set a BrickScore of 40.1 and a Skip It tier, citing poor display value and weak price-to-value at $32.99 for 310 pieces ($0.11 per piece). Owner ratings tell a dramatically different story: 856 ratings average 4.8 out of 5, with 93% saying they would recommend it. This is one of the starkest critic-vs-owner splits in the dataset. Buyers are primarily gifting it to Captain America fans and children who enjoy poseable, displayable superhero figures, while critics flag the cartoonish face and limited collector appeal.

Where they split: The gap between critics and owners here is significant and worth naming directly. Expert scoring puts this in the Skip It tier (BrickScore 42.4) with value and aesthetics as the weak points, but 856 owner ratings average 4.8 out of 5 with 93% recommending it. The divide tracks a difference in what is being evaluated: critics assess parts value, display sophistication, and collector merit, while owners rate it as an enjoyable gift for a young Marvel fan.
