This is the second set I got at a sale in a local store (Minipreço, one of the largest chains in Portugal). It is part of the same collection as the white car from my previous review. Both were made by Sluban, a Chinese company. Together they cost me around 5€ at a discount of 50%, placing each part just under 0.02 Euros. At full price this could go up to 0.03 or 0.04 Euros per part, which is still very good.
The blue car box contains 164 parts. These are mostly
blue and red, with some black and white thrown in.
Instructions.
Stickers.
A minifig.
Plates of several sizes, wings, and
more of the short 1x1 bricks.
L-plates, small plates, and tiles.
Axles, 1x1 bricks with pin, modified bricks, claw tiles, some modified plates and a 10 stud long modified plate.
Wheels, tires, windshield, seat and steering wheel parts.
Mudguards, slopes, and some transparent slopes.
Decided to try to do a few frames this time. There is a skirmisher quad frame, with a direct fire turret, an ECM pod and a set of four legs (WW2RdBG). The second frame is a support unit with a long-range railgun, a shield and four legs (WW2RaBG). I also bricked a baserunner with a radar dish, several antennas and hardened armor (WWYYB+d8G). With the remaining parts I did a live-fire training wall as a single piece of cover.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+). This set is really solid, and you can build a small Frame company at a very low price. The parts do fit together tightly, but one should be warned that there can be at least one defective part per box.
