Review: 75196 Star Wars Microfighter Series 5 A Wing vs. TIE Silencer

Reaching into my backlog pile, I find the last set in the fifth Microfighter series.  I held off on purchasing this one for a while due to the price.  I think I finally caved when it went on sale.  This is also the first Microfighter series that I've reviewed in entirety.

Box.  MSRP is $19.99, this gives us a $0.11 Price per Piece.

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+).  Two Frames, two Stations, and plenty of spare parts.  If only the price was better.
