Purity: Toysmith S1014C Building Bricks Tiny Train (Green Engine) Review

This is a set of clone bricks that was brought to my attention on the Discord.  Toysmith is one of those aggregate companies that sell tons of different toys.


Box.  MSRP at Target is $1.00 for this which gives us a $0.03 Price per Piece.

Instructions & Stickers. 





Parts.  Plates, Offset 2x3 Studless Slope, Round Tiles, Axle Plates, Round Tiles, Grille Tile, Slopes, Brackets, Wheels, Bar Plates, Tiles, Clip Tile, and Double Sided Clip Plate.








Build.  Attack Cart with two Attachment mounting points.

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?  No.  (-5)
Score: +10 (A-).  Not a bad little set for the money.
