Review: 60120 Volcano Starter Set

Here's a starter set that's a little more recent, only dating back to 2016.

Box.  MSRP is $9.99 for a $0.12 Price per Piece.


Instructions.









Minifigs.

Parts 1.  Trans-Neon Orange 1x1 Rounds and the 1x1 Technic Brick w/Hole stick out to me.



Parts 2.  Liftarms, Bushings, a
Clip Plate, a Printed Slope,
Cheese Slopes, and a Minifig
Handlebar are all interesting.



Parts 3.  The new "Lava
Boulder" is pretty cool, and
I like the Fender Plates.




Build.  A 1 Hit piece of Terrain and a 2Rd/1G/2Y Frame.

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+).  Sets like this are fun because you can "kitbash" the Minifig vehicle into a wheeled Frame design in short order.
