Review: Mega Bloks HKT19 Pokemon Zubat's Midnight Flight

I found this sitting on an endcap in the Toy section of Walmart with other Clearance toys but it didn't have a Clearance tag on it.  I'm glad I scanned it because I got a decent discount on the set.  Also, with this review I have equaled the number of Mega Bloks reviews I did last year.  Onward and upward!


Box.  MSRP is $10.99 for a $0.18 Price per Piece.  I paid $7.00 at Walmart for a $0.12 Price per Piece.

Instructions.








Parts 1.  This is incorporated into the packaging.  Gear Brick.




Parts 2.  Plates, Wedge Plate, Tile w/Hole and Studs on Edges, Tooth Plates, Axle,
Axle/Pin w/Stop, 1/2 Bars w/Stop, Hinge Brick (2 Plates tall), Studless Slopes,
Wedge Tile, Corrugated Brick, Slopes, Bricks, Cheese Slopes, and Bent Bar Holder.

Parts 3.  Wings, Printed Curved Slope, Tooth Plates (I inverted them
so you could see the coloring.), Curved Slope, Round Tile w/Bar
Hole, Round Tile, Double-Sided Ball Joint Plate, Half Circle
Plates, Bar Ball Joints, Double-Sided Bar Plates, Double-Sided
Half Circle Plate, and Double-Sided Half Circle Ball Joint Plate.






Parts 4.  These are in a bag inside of the second parts bag.
Pointed Bars (rubber, not plastic), and Bar Connectors.






Build.  The base is a 1 Hit piece of Cover -- 3 to destroy -- and the Frame really
needs feet.  It is super posable though and that makes it really expressive.

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?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +5 (B+).  A really fun Pokemon and terrain in one set, not bad.  Shame about the price though.
