Bag. Purchased for $3.99. That gives us a Price per Piece of $0.09.
Instructions.
Parts. Lots of plates in this one, mostly of the wedge variety. We have some slopes w/no studs of the 2x2 and 1x4 variety, along with some Cheese Slopes in opaque and translucent. Some axle holders, technic bits, a cone, a mudguard plate, a modified bracket, and a flame piece round out the selection. The only piece out of this set that I can never have enough of is the translucent 2x2 studless slope. They make great cockpit pieces.
Creation. A Frigate for MFZ:IO, for the Nth time. I call it the
Bat-Frigate, which has the following stats, 2Ra+d8/1G/2W.
The Questions:Can you build a frame, or frames, right away? Yes. (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? Below. (+5) (The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, 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: A- (+10). No minifig is a good starting point but beyond that I'm not seeing a lot to recommend this set.
I'm confused when polybags get high scores but then you don't recommend it...
ReplyDeleteIt's just my opinion. While it may fulfill the requirements for a good set I put down on paper, I don't feel like it does so in real life.
