Review: 10402 Fun Future

This was part of the "Building Bigger Thinking" sub-line of Classic sets.  I think it was another attempt at the old school Lego set of "random" parts that can make multiple builds.


Box.  MSRP was $9.99 for this which gives us a $0.05 Price per Piece.

Instructions. 



Parts 1.  Round Large Jumpers, Boat Sliders, Wedge Plates, Curved Slope
w/2 Studs, Tiles, Tiles w/Studs, Bar Plates, Ball Joint Plates,  Plates, Corner

w/Recessed Stud, Wedge Slope w/Cutout, Printed Tile, 1x4 Offset

Round Plates, Padlocks, Nipples, Round Tiles, Printed Round
Tiles, Rims, Skeleton Arms, Lightsaber Hilts, Butts, Dishes,
Minifig Visors, Levers & Bases, and Bar Holders w/Bar.





Minifig.  This one has an old school face and male, female, and gender neutral options.





Build.  Two Frames, two Stations, and two 1
Hit pieces of Cover.  You could probably get
more out of this but I ran out of creative energy.


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?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  A decent set with a blend of useful parts and colors.
