Back in September of last year, I made a trip down to NYC for the weekend. As per my usual I stopped in Chinatown. While waiting for a restaurant to open, I stumbled across some clone brick sets at Lurei Trading Inc. on Mott Street. This week I'm reviewing them.
This is part of a larger series with a combined build.
Parts 1. Plates, Tile, Technic Plate, Mudguard Plate, Axle Plates, Roof Slope,
Ball Joint Plates (neither size compatible with Lego), Ball Joint Hand, Brackets,
Studless Slopes, Slope, Bricks, Brick w/Studs on Side (almost a Double
Headlight Brick), Friction Cylinders, Friction Rams, Tires, and Panels.
Parts 2. Rims, Round Plates, Plates, Studless Slopes, Tiles, Bar Plates, Lampholders, Cheese Graters, Grille Tiles, Technic Bricks, Brick w/Studs on Side, Headlight
Bricks, Cheese Slopes, Rubber Stoppers, Minifig Binoculars, and Clip Plates.
Cattus Interruptus. One of my cats, Diana,
just had to have some attention.
Build. 2Rh+d8 (giant hand) 1B (plow) 1G+d8 (wheels + no
ranged weapons) 2W. Plenty of spare parts left over, too.
The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away? Yes. (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? At. (0) (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: +15 (A). This is a fun set and, useful even without the rest of the series.
