Review: Make-It Blocks Fire Truck

Digging into the backlog of my "To Be Reviewed" Pile, here's an older Make-It Blocks set.  I bought this back before the changeover to $1.25 by Dollar Tree.


Box.  MSRP was $1.00 for a $0.05 Price per Piece.

Instructions.














Parts.  Plates, Axle Plates, Bar Plate, Tile, Double Sided
Rounded Plate, Grille Tile, Tires, Rims, Corrugated Tile,
Clip Tile, Bracket, Translucent Panel, and Corner Panel.



Build.  There's not a lot here in terms of parts so I built the set.
  
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-).  I wish I paid more attention when this was on the shelves.  Clip Tiles are always great and that Double Sided Plate could be really useful.
