Purity: Mega Bloks FVK68 Pokemon Brionne Review

It seems like 5Below has switched to carrying Mega Bloks and other clone brick sets over Lego.  It kinda sucks as they were a good source of polybags but it's also good because we get Mega Bloks sets at an affordable price.


Box.  MSRP was $9.99 for a $0.13 Price per Piece.  I
purchased this at 5Below for $5.00 which is a $0.06 PpP.

Instructions.



Parts 1.  Angled Plates, Half Spheres, Plates, Wedge Plates, Slopes, Round Bricks, Brick, Tiles w/Bar Up, Jumpers, Large Jumper, and 1x3 Slope w/Bar Hole.




Parts 2.  Leaf Canopy, Leaves, Domes, Half Round Plate,
Round Tile, Half Round Double Sided Plate, Half Round
Double Sided Ball Joint Plate, Half Round Ball Joint Plate,
Half Round Plate, Ball Joint Plates, and Ball Joint Sockets.






Parts 3.  Half Domes, Wedge Studless Slopes, 1x1 Domes, Round Double
Sided Studless Plate, Round Tiles, Double Sided Studs, Round Plates,
Connectors (These are like Round Bricks but open at each end with axle holders
inside) Round Plate w/Bar, Bar w/Stop, Bar/Bar Holder, Elbow Bar, and Plates.




Parts 4.  Flippers, Printed Dome, Round Plate w/Bar
Underneath, Double Sided Round Plate, Rubber Flanged
Piece, Tree Trunk Bricks, Round Tooth Plates, and Cone.



Build.  Frame, Pokeball, and 1 Hit piece of Cover.


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+).  It's a nice set but I feel like you need two copies to build anything worthwhile.  Score on the 5Below price is +20 (A+).
