Purity: Toysmith S1014A Building Bricks Tiny Train (Red 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.  Brick, 2x3 Offset Studless Slopes, Plates, Axle Plates, Bar Plates, Round
Plates, Brackets, Double Sided Clip Plate, Tiles, Bar, Clip Tiles, and Wheels.




Build.  One more Attack Cart with multiple Attachment points.

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-).  Another set with some useful parts in not-quite-enough quantities.
