Purity: Mega Bloks Construction Polybag Review 3

  There are new Mega Construx blind bag polybags available at the Dollar Tree.  I was alerted to the existence of these by someone on the MFZ Facebook Group.  I haven't been able to find any information on these as the only number on the bag that comes back with a hit, 684173-A, leads to an eBay auction.  As these seem to be blind bags you'll have to do the "feel test" to determine which one you're buying.


Bag.  MSRP was $1.00 for a $0.04 Price per Piece.


Instructions.  These are folded up really small and bound with a
clear rubber band that, unfortunately, doesn't get used in the build


Parts.  Plates, Axle Plates, Slope w/Cutout, Tile w/Bar, Grille
Tiles, Tile, Wheels, Bar w/Bar Holder Horizontal, Bracket,
Double Sided Round Plate, Truncated Cones, and a Slope.








Build.  This cement mixer is a 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? 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 construction vehicle -- for some reason I'm intrigued by cement mixers -- with a few cool parts.
