Purity: Kre-O B1548 Transformers Sideswipe Roadway Rundown

Reaching into the "started but never finished" pile we find a "new" for 2015 Kre-O Transformers set.  It hadn't been released in major U.S. retail stores and went straight to a discount retailer.

Box.  MSRP is $12.99? for a $0.13 Price per Piece.  I'm not sure of the
price because Hasbro doesn't even have a page for this set.  I paid $7.99
for it at Marshalls.  It was also available at Dollar General for $12.00



Instructions.





Stickers.


Kreons.









Parts.  I really like the Neon Light Blue highlights on those rims.  The Kreon Container might make for a good Station.  Plenty of Plates, Slopes, Bricks, A souple of Kreon Guns a Kreon Shield, a Clip Tile, and other neat parts.

Builds.  I managed an IO Frigate, a
4P RA Frame, a Station, and a 1 Hit
wall from this set with plenty left over.

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+).  The score is questionable because we don't have a verified MSRP.
