Review: 41549 Mixels Gurggle

The last of the Glorp Corp. Mixels reviews.

Bag.  MSRP is $4.99 which is a Price per Piece of $0.08.

Instructions.

Parts.  A lot of plates to start with, a fair amount of Mixel Joints, a couple of 1x2 Bricks, some Brackets, three different types of Clip Plates, a few 1x2 Bar Plates (closed ends), an interesting prismatic 2x2 Tile, a couple of Tooth Plates, several types of Slopes, and a couple of Lampholders.

Build.  Another T.U.R.D. Bot variation.

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+).  Another max score for the Glorp Corps.

Review: 41548 Mixel Dribbal

Let's start out the week with a new review.

Bag.  MSRP is $4.99 which is a Price per Piece of $0.10.

Instructions.

Parts.  Not really a lot here.  Several Plates, a few Slopes, a
couple of Brackets, some Mixel Joints, a handful of
Headlight Bricks, a couple of Clip Plates, and some other items.

Build.  Are you really surprised?  :-)  I knew I was going to

build at least one T.U.R.D. Bot when I saw that Double

Inverted Slope w/Cutout in all three of the Glorp Corp. packages.

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).  Not a bad score, but I feel like this may be the best set of this Tribe.

Micro Mecha 2

Since the first one was so well received, here are more micro mechs.

301st Marine Assault Squad "Hell Hornets" by steebles1908.
A nice looking squad.

Micro Mecha by DS3D.  It looks like a mini Glaug.

Dragoon Thunderguard Detachment by steebles1908.
Another well put together squad.  I like the color use.

Lego Ma.K SAFS by umamen.  These look cute.

Martian Mining Crew by steebles1908.  This squad
features a new connection to make the arms work.

Random Mechs 16

How about some mecha for a Wednesday?

Airlock Delta 001Copy by kidthor.  This looks
good but may be too big for general MFZ use.

Fadeout by Dead Frog Inc.  Another one that might

be too big for general use but looks fantastic.

Statuette by apocalust.  This may be a bit too big -- I
estimate it at 12.5 bricks tall -- but I still like it anyway.

Image_1958 by Simmon Kim.  This may also be a little too

tall, but I like it because of the chances it takes with parts use.

Elite by Brickwielder.  A nice, solid build.

TMOH: Copies

My creations have been copied infrequently enough that I get a giddy feeling any time someone posts a picture of one.  I've started assembling Flickr Galleries of all the copies I find.  Links to the original pictures can be found in the captions.

Vitor Faria

The first one is my ubiquitous Crab Mecha.

Four people have made copies of this design.

Mika Metsätähti

The next is my workhorse T.U.R.D. Bot.  Only
one person has copied this but he made a bunch.

markwisski

The last, and a little surprisingly, is my new Scavenger frame.  Two

people have copied this, each time slightly tweaking the design.
