Purity: Lazer Blocks Spaceship Review

While the have "Lazer Blocks" at the top left of the box, there's a "Block Tech" logo at the bottom left.  So I guess Block Tech now has sub-brands.  I found these in the impulse buy section by the front doors in Target.


Box.  I paid $3.00, for a $0.12 Price per Piece.




Instructions.




Parts.  Wedge Plate, Round Lightbrick, 2x2 Studless Slope, Tile, Dishes, Lampholders, Slopes, Round Bricks, Cones, Cheese Slopes, Plates, Bracket, and Lightsaber Blades.  The Round Lightbricks could potentially be useful as part of a Station, or maybe as an Attachment on a Frame.





Build.  I modified the set build slightly for an IO Frigate.

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?  No.  (-5)
Score: -5 (B-).  Beyond the Lampholders, and maybe the Round Lightbrick, not really worth it.  While this is the weakest of the three sets, it's the only one that is all transparent bricks.
