Purity: Laser Pegs 18003 Mars Shuttle Review

Back when I reviewed the Mars Explorer a number of the TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Homegoods stores had this line in stock.  I'm always a sucker for clone bricks and possible interesting transparent parts makes for more potential fun.

Box.  MSRP was $49.99.  Original Price per Piece was $0.18.
I paid $8.00 for this which gives a $0.03 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+).  There are some really cool parts in this set.  At the clearance price the score would be +20 (A+).
