Review: 30680 Star Wars AAT Polybag

I know we're barely into 2024 but I was somewhat surprised to find two new poybags at Barnes & Noble.  This one is quite different from Wednesday's review though.


Bag.  MSRP is
 $4.99, for a $0.07 Price per Piece.

Instructions.






Parts.  Dish, Plates, Wedge Plates, Round Tiles, Quarter Circle Curved Slopes, Arches, Curved Slopes w/Cutout, Bricks w/Stud on Side, Brackets, Slopes, Cones, Studless Slopes, Turntable Base, turntable Top, Double Curved Slopes, Boat Sliders, Minifig Hose Nozzles, Bar Plates, Plate w/Pinhole, Clip Plates, Rounded Plates, and Bar w/Stop.



Free Build.  IO Frigate (2Rs/2Y). 






 Set Build.  2Ra/1B/2Y.




Size Comparison 1. 






Size Comparison 2.  As you can see it pushes the edges of "The Box" but is somewhere between a Chub and a Classic in height.  

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?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  Frame-in-a-Bag.  I think a squad of these wouldn't look out of place on any gaming table.
