Is this LEGO set a good investment?

“When it boils down to it, I do like Malum. He looks great when you pose him right. His colors are nice, with the bley and silver being subtle enough to not really notice. He's also got the whole elemental flair that we've been missing for a while, another plus. But he is $13... More dollars and does reuse an old design (better than it originally was, though).”

“Overall I think Malum is an amazing set, and the pictures don't do him justice. Sure his shoulder plates get in the way every once in a while, but it's a lot less of a problem than you might think. The Thornax launcher is neat, and even the game counter has a use!”
