Purity: Mega Bloks DYF10 Squirtle vs. Charmander Review

I think this is from the first wave of Pokemon releases.  I mainly bought this to see if the Orange pieces in this set were the same color as the ones in the Pokeball Paras set.

Box.  I paid $13.49 at Target for a $0.10 Price per Piece


Instructions.











Parts 1.  A typical layered Plate that came loose in the box.

Parts 2.  Round Plates, Jumpers, Cheese Slopes, Connectors, and a Headlight Brick.







Parts 3.  Here we have Ball Joint
parts for the Pokemon, vegetation
sections, and "energy blasts".

Parts 4.  Bricks,Plates, and Slopes.







Parts 5.  Slopes, Bricks, Wedge Plates,
a Plate, some interesting Offset Plates,
and a Trans-Clear T Bar.

Parts 6.  More Pokemon parts, vegetation
 parts, more layered Plates, and a Brick.






Build.  Three sections of Terrain (2 Hit, 1 Hit, and 2 Hits
respectively).  Two Pokemon and plenty of spare parts.

Size comparison.   The Pokemon seem a little small but you may
be able to pop them on to a Plate and use the "Two to a Plate" rule.

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).  Three sections of Terrain and a Frame, not bad for one set.
