Description

The S on the crest

This model reproduces the famous red S on a yellow field with a blue border. It ranks among the most recognisable superhero symbols anywhere and works well as wall or shelf decoration. Unlike most sets there are no figures to distract from it, so everything focuses on the shape. If you also own the bat-emblem counterpart, you can stand the two side by side and create a small comparison of two comic classics on the same shelf.

Two parts, many bricks

The 257 pieces consist of only 2 distinct part and colour combinations. The parts list is therefore unusually short, and counting quickly shows whether anything is missing. The model lives on quantity of identical elements rather than on specialist pieces. That suits beginners, since very little can be confused. If you mainly use sets as a source of spare parts, remember that there is little variety here, and the value lies in the supply of colour.

Primary colours in bulk

Blue, red, yellow and white are the four main colours, matching the hero's classic look. These shades are popular in every collection because they suit vehicles, houses and mosaics alike. Having them in larger quantities can help when your own project runs low on red or blue bricks. Even from a distance the logo remains easy to recognise on a shelf and draws the eye straight away, which is exactly what a display piece like this should do.

Buying second-hand

The set dates from 2012 and is mostly offered used these days. Compare the quantities with the list here, since uniform bricks make it hard to spot a shortfall by eye. The “What can I build?” tool also shows which models become possible when your stock is combined with these parts. Owners of both shield sets end up with a solid supply of black, yellow, red, blue and white that can feed plenty of ideas of their own.
