Review: 75194 Star Wars Microfighter Series 5 First Order TIE Fighter

I actually didn't need any parts from this but I did need another blog post to fill out the week, so I dug this out of my backlog pile too.

Box.  MSRP was $9.99 for a $0.11 Price per Piece.



Instructions.








Minifig.

Parts 1.  Round tiles, Slopes, Plates w/Door Rail,
Brackets, Plates, Clip Tile, Half Pins, Tiles, Apollo
Studs, Headlight Bricks, Bricks, Flick Missiles,
Barraki Eyes, Hose Nozzles, and Minifig Gun.







Parts 2.  Plates, Wedge Plates, Plate/Tile,
Brackets, Plates w/Pinholes, Printed Dish,
Technic Brick w/Pinhole, and Slopes.

Build.  IO Cruiser without Systems.

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+).  A little Plate heavy for RA but a good starting point for IO.
