Review: 30543 Christmas Train Polybag

I found this last week in Target.  It was in the checkout aisles, although with that name you might find it in the seasonal section.


Bag.  I paid $3.99, for a $0.06 Price per Piece.


Instructions.









Parts.  Plates, Mod. Plates, Panels, Brackets, Round Plates, Bricks, Headlight Bricks, Train Wheels, Dome Brick, Round Brick w/Pin Holes, and a Cone.


Build.  A small IO Frigate (2Ra+d8)
 with room for more Attachments.



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+).  The value is good, the parts selection isn't.
