Purity: Mega Bloks Construction Polybag Review 2

 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 $0.05 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.  Tile, Plate, Plate w/Open Studs, Tiles w/Open Stud, Axle Plates, Rounded Slope, Panel, Bracket w/Open Studs, Wheels, Bars, and Bar Holder/Bar.







Build.  The top of this is roughly five Bricks
tall, so it could be 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 parts set that can help populate a construction site battlefield.
