Purity: A6951 Transformers Cell Block Breakout Review

Let's finish out the week with something interesting.

Box.  MSRP of $16.99 gives us a $0.13 Price per Piece.



Instructions.










Stickers.

Kreons.  The usual.





Parts 1.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with those heads.  The mylar wings might be good for terrain, the Trans-Clear pieces too.



Parts 2.  Those "X" shaped pieces in the lower left have my attention.


Parts 3.  Here's the meat of the set.  A bunch of ball joints, the Large Claw pieces I like so much, a bunch of Grille Tiles, 1x1 Round Plates, a couple Double Sided 1x1 Round Plates, a bunch of Small Claws, and a Kre-O Bar Claw.



Build 1.  Frame.


Build 2.  Frame.




Build 3.  Station.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  
Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)

(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?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +5 (B+).  Not a bad little set.  I've found it for $14.98 at TRU which might be a little easier to swallow.
