Review Reset

Some of the early reviews I did were rated by intuition.  In this post I'll re-visit and re-rate them based on the system I came up with.

Character Builder Dalek review.
The Questions:
Can you build a frame, or frames, right away?  Yes, it may be a little small though.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above, these are imported from England.  (-10)
If you can't build a frame right away, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes, as seen here and here.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  No. (-5)

Score: -5 (B-).  While this score is pretty low, it's easy to find Daleks in the blind packs and I really like the parts that they're made from.

Micro-Transformers review.
The Questions:
Can you build a frame, or frames, right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)
If you can't build a frame right away, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  No.  (-5)

Score: -5 (B-).

Winzar's Pack Patrol review.
The Questions:
Can you build a frame, or frames, right away?  No.  I think it'd be a real stretch to turn these parts into a frame.  (-5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)
If you can't build a frame right away, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  No.  (-5)

Score: -15 (C).  Get this one on sale or as a stocking stuffer.

Micro-Transformers review 2.
The Questions:
Can you build a frame, or frames, right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)
If you can't build a frame right away, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)

Score: -5 (B-).

Razcal's Glider review.
The Questions:
Can you build a frame, or frames, right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  ( -10)
If you can't build a frame right away, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  Yes.  (+5)

Score: +5 (B+).  If you can find this at a better price the rating jumps to an "A".

Mech Venom Strike review.
The Questions:
Can you build a frame, or frames, right away?  Yes, technically.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)
If you can't build a frame right away, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away? Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  Yes.  (+5)

Score: +5 (B+).

Land Defense Battle Pack review.
The Questions:
Can you build a frame, or frames, right away?  Yes, it's tight but I think you can do it.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)
If you can't build a frame right away, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  Yes.  (+5)

Score: +5 (B+).

Z-95 Headhunter Polybag review.
The Questions:
Can you build a frame, or frames, right away?  Yes, if you want a flying vehicle.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  At.  (0)
If you can't build a frame right away, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts? No.  (-5)

Score: +5 (B+).

Combat Chopper review.  Technically I reviewed this one already but I didn't give my reasoning behind the score, so here it is.

The Questions:
Can you build a frame, or frames, right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)
If you can't build a frame right away, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  Yes.  (+5)

Score: +5 (B+).  I guess I was wrong about the original score.

And there you have it.
