Review: 75132 Star Wars First Order Battle Pack

After a bit of searching last night, I grabbed this from the backlog pile .

Box.  MSRP was $12.99 for a $0.15 Price per Piece



Instructions.







Minifigs.  The Black helmet could
look really good as the head of
one of my Generic frames.

Parts 1.  Plates, Slopes, Hinge Plate, Turntable Base, Flags, Studless
 Slopes, Stud Shooter, Brackets,
Bar Plates, Panels, and Bricks.


Parts 2.  Hinge Brick, Tiles, Turntable
Top, Plates, 3L Friction Pin, Printed
Tile, Round Plates, Stud Shooter
Triggers, Mod. Plate w/Pin Hole
(inverted), and Technic Bricks.

Build.  A 1 Hit piece of
Cover and a 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+).  Good if you like Minifigs -- and maybe Stud shooters -- but not much else.
