Purity: Mega Bloks DXF01 Halo Banished Ghost Rush Review

I feel like doing another Mega Bloks week.

Box.  MSRP is $9.99 which is a Price per Piece of $0.11.  Looks like they reduced the parts count from the two previous versions of this set.



Instructions.






Minifig.


Parts 1.  Just one of those odd
shaped Plates MB like so much.






Parts 2.  We have some translucent
parts and the MB Bar Claw pieces.


Parts 3.  Some Bar Plates
and some SNOT bricks.






Parts 4.  Some nice Dark Red pieces, Minifig pieces, and other bits.










Build.  I was really hoping for a Dark Red version of my
"Mega Beetle" frame but I had to settle for something else.
The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)  
(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: +5 (B+).  I had high hopes for this set.
