Purity: Toysmith S1014B Building Bricks Tiny Train (Yellow Engine) Review

This is a set of clone bricks that was brought to my attention on the Discord.  Toysmith is one of those aggregate companies that sell tons of different toys.


Box.  MSRP at Target is $1.00 for this which gives us a $0.03 Price per Piece.




Instructions & Stickers. 





Parts.  Click Scoops, Bricks, Axle Plates, Plates, 2x3 Offset
Studless Slope, Hinge Plates, Bar Plates, Brackets, Cheese
Slopes, Double Sided Clip Plate, Wheels, and Round Bricks.




Build.  Frame (2Rh+d8).
 
The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- 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: +10 (A-).  This one has a few more interesting parts than the last two.
