Last year, Brickcraft released a series of Christmas Bricktanicals. They're doing it again this year but with some tweaks and upgrades. Let's take a week and review them.
Box. MSRP is $5.99, for a $0.07 Price per Piece.
I paid $4.97 at Walmart, for a $0.06 Price per Piece.
Parts. Pearlescent Translucent XxY Leaves, Bag Tag Ring, Flower Sprues, Large Ball Joints, Metallic Wedge Plates, Metallic Plates, Metallic Tiles w/Studs on Edge, Translucent Plant Stems, Metallic Round Tile, Metallic Large Stadium tile, Metallic Quarter Circle Plates, Metallic Brick w/Pinhole, Metallic Macaroni Tiles, Metallic Double Inverted Slope w/Cutout, Metallic Plates w/Pinhole, Translucent Bar Bar Holders, Translucent Clip Bar Holders, Translucent Candlesticks, Translucent Round Plates w/Flower Petals, Translucent Clip Plates, Half Pins, Translucent Bars, and Translucent Palm Tree Top.
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+). Very similar to last year's version but, with a few new parts and a metallic coating on others. I really like it and I'll be buying at least one more. The score for the price I paid is +20 (A+).
