Review: Lazer Blocks US101-0021 Wild Tiger

It's been over a year and a half since I've done a review of the Block Tech sub-line, Lazer Blocks.  This week will be dedicated to reviewing Lazer Blocks sets. I feel like all of the sets I have planned for review have Ijad vibes.


Box.  MSRP is $5.00
, for a $0.05 Price per Piece.

Parts 1.  Translucent Quarter Circle Plates, Translucent Triple Slope Wedge,
Ball Joint Bricks, Translucent Wedge Plates, Translucent Plate, Plates, Clip Plate,
Brackets, Wedge Plate, Round Light Brick, and Inverted Slopes w/Cutout.

 Slopes, Tiles w/Studs on Edge, Translucent Round Plate, Translucent
 Curved Slope w/Wing, Plates, Tooth Plates, Translucent Plates,

Build.  Two Frames (2Rh) and a Station.

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+).  For a Lazer Blocks set, it's only 29% Transparent parts.  I do like all the Orange though.
