Purity: Mega Bloks GHH03 Detective Pikachu Mr. Mime Review

This is one of the six(?) sets made for the Pokemon Detective Pikachu movie.  Seeing how deeply this was discounted I'm guessing they didn't sell too well.

Box.  MSRP is $9.99.  Which gives a $0.14 Price per
Piece.  I paid $2.98 for a $0.04 Price per Piece.



Instructions.







Parts 1.  Angled Plate, Plates, Double Sided Plate, Round Plates, Quarter Circle Studless Slopes, Wedge Studless Slopes, Wedge Tiles, Bars w/Stop, and Bar Ball Joints.

Parts 2.  Half Sphere, Printed Half Sphere, Hands, Feet, Horns(?), Printed Quarter Circle Studless Slopes, Printed Wedge Studless Slopes, Ball Joints, Half Round Bricks.


Parts 3.  Round Tiles, Half Round Plates, Half round Plate w/Ball Joint, Half Double Sided Round Bricks w/Ball Joint Receptacle, Ball Joint Plates, Double Sided Round Bricks, Bar Ball Joints, and Bent Bar Holders.

Build.  Frame (2Rh+d8).



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+).  That face piece is terrifying.  The set has some useful pieces but some of the best ones are flesh colored.  Score for the original price is +5 (B+).
