Review: Make-It Blocks Birds 2.4

Make-It Blocks has released a second line of Birds themed sets.  It's been almost a year since my last Make-It Blocks review -- pay no attention to all those other MIB sets in my backlog pile -- so let's get going.


Box. MSRP is $1.25, for a $0.03 Price per Piece.

Instructions.












Parts.  Round Plate, Brick, Wedge Plates, Pneuma-T, Plates, Curved Slope
w/Wing, Studless Slopes, Round Large Jumpers, Curved Slopes w/Cutout,
Cone, Bar Claws, Jumpers, Wedge Studless Slopes, Double Sided Plate, Apollo
Studs, Tile, Brackets, Printed Round Tiles, Stadium Tiles, Quarter Circle Tiles,
Cheese Slopes w/Stud, Tooth Plate, and Flower Stem w/Stud & 3 Stems.



Build.  IO Frigate (2Rpd+d8/2W).


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? No. (-5)
Score: +10 (A-). The Pneuma-T in Medium Nougat should be useful for tree builds and the Double Sided Plate is nice but, beyond that there's not really much here to recommend this set.
