Review: Brickcraft 70298BFS Bricktanicals Poinsettia

 After being informed of the existence of Christmas Bricktanicals by Hysterical_Cub on the MFZ subReddit, I went out and bought them all.  So let's start a run of Brickcraft Bricktanicals reviews.


Box.  MSRP is $4.97
, for a $0.05 Price per Piece.

Instructions.














Parts 1.  Octagonal Bar Plates, Transparent Hexagonal Windscreens,
Axles, Pentagonal Tiles, Half Gear, Transparent Axle Connectors w/Pinhole,
Plates, Inverted Round Tiles, Round Large Jumper, Round Tile w/Pinhole,
Round Plates Wedge Tiles, Clip Plates, Wedge Studless Slopes, Bar w/Stop,
Transparent 3L Axle Connectors, Transparent Axle w/Pinhole Connector,
Transparent Barrel Hinges, Half Pin, Full Gear, and Pin Minifig Arms.


Build. Frame [Armored Swarmer (2Rh{club} 2B{wings} 1Y{scanner}2W)]. 

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+).  Four Octagonal Bar Plates in one set is a nice start.  I feel like the Transparent Barrel Hinges and 3L Axle Connectors are going to make interesting legs for something.
