Purity: Laser Pegs 18401 Squid Encounter Review

I purchased this at Marshall's a few weeks ago.  I'm generally not a fan of this line of clone bricks but the set looked weird -- and I tend to like weird -- and the price was good.

Box.  MSRP was $29.99.  I paid $16.00 for this which gives a $0.10 Price per Piece.


Instructions and Stickers.






Minifig and Light Brick.



Parts 1.  Light Blocks.




Parts 2.  Tiles, Slopes, Round Plates,
Round Tiles, Lampholders, a Plate,
and a Hinge Brick.





Parts 3.  Plates, Ball Joints, and a Brick.



Parts 4.  Slopes, Brackets, Wedge Plates, Plates, a Round Plate, and an Air Scoop.




Parts 5.  Plates, Minifig Weapons, Slopes, Wedge Plates, Dishes, Round Plates, Bricks w/Studs on 1 Side, Panel, Clip Plate, Tile Clip, Minifig Handlebar, Leaf Plate, Bar Plate, Modified Plate, and LURP.

Build.  Frame.

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).  All those Ball Joint pieces are great, too bad the rest of the set isn't really as useful.
