Review: 75125 Star Wars Microfighter Series 3 Resistance X-Wing Fighter

I needed the nose cone piece -- from this one too -- to finish out a squad I'm working on, so I dug this out of my backlog pile.

Box.  MSRP was $9.99 for a $0.12 Price per Piece.



Instructions.








Minifig.


Parts 1.  Plates, Wedge Plates, Brackets, Curved
Top Bricks, Bar Plates, Clip Plates, Plates w/Pin
Hole, Slopes, Technic Pins w/Bar Extension.









Parts 2.  Plates, Grille Tiles, Jumpers, Slopes, Technic Axle
Pins, Clip Plates, Cones, Round Tiles, Tile, and Minifig Gun.




Build.  Another 2Rd+d8/2Rh+d8 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?  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 lower parts count has a big effect on the score, despite being similar to the Series 1 X-Wing.
