Review: Brickcraft 72740BRK Woof or Treet

Once again, Brickcraft is releasing a number of Seasonal sets.  This time for Fall/Halloween.  I mainly grabbed this one for the Purple parts but, there was a surprise inside.

Box.  MSRP is $14.99, for a $0.10 Price per Piece.
I paid $11.99 at Wegmans, for a $0.08 Price per Piece.

Parts 2.  Printed Oval Dome, Wedge Plate, Wedge Tiles, Round Tiles w/

Pinhole, Inverted Studless Slopes, Plates, Rounded Plates, Clip Plates,

Double Curved Slopes, Apollo Studs, Bent Cone, and Macaroni Tiles.

Build.  Two Frames (2W) 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?  At.  (0)  (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: +15 (A).  Despite the neat parts and cool colors -- that Light Purple is really nice -- I feel like there's not a lot of there there.  Too many onesies and odd quantities.  I might grab another one if they go on clearance though.  The score for the price I paid is +20 (A+).

Score: +20 (A+).  There's a ton of neat stuff in this one.  All of this week's sets have interesting parts but don't include enough basic parts to form the core of a build.  I think if you took one of today's review and used it to accessorize two of last Friday's review, you'd have some pretty robust Frames.

Review: Block Tech US101-3113 Little Terrors Spider

Block Tech has made several small seasonal kits for Christmas in the past.  This is the first time, as far as I know, that they're making them for Halloween.

Box.  MSRP is $1.00, for a $0.04 Price per Piece.

Instructions.

Parts.  Octagonal Bar Plate, Bars, Round Plate, Truncated

Cone, Inverted Dome, Slope w/Wing, Rounded Plate,

Exo-Force Arms, Barbs, Bar Clip, 1x1x2/3 Bricks w/Stud on

Side, Translucent Round Tiles, Double Slope, and Clip Plate.

Build.  Frame (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-).  Mid-range score but this is a Frame-in-a-Box at a really affordable price.  As with Wednesday's review, having a squad of these on the table would look cool.  Combining this set and the Bat or the Skeleton might make for a good Double Set Challenge.

Review: Block Tech US101-3114 Little Terrors Skeleton

Block Tech has made several small seasonal kits for Christmas in the past.  This is the first time, as far as I know, that they're making them for Halloween.

Box.  MSRP is $1.00, for a $0.03 Price per Piece.

Invitations.

Parts.  2x2 Round Tile, 2x2 Round Plates, Brick, Headlight

Bricks, Plates, Jumpers, Rounded Plates, Padlocks, Double Bar

Plates, 1x1 Round Tiles, Vertical Clip Plates, Horizontal Clip

Plates, 1x1 Round Plates, Bar Clips, and Exo-Force Arms.

Build.  Frame (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-).  Nice to see some actual Lego-style Bar Clips in a clone brick set.  But if you look at the picture on the box, it doesn't match the parts that were included.  That being said, I built the set because I think it might be cool to have a squad of these on the table.  Though I did leave out one piece and swapped the attachment point on the arms to give it a little articulation.
