Purity: Krazy Bricks 8519-3 Review

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.


Box.  I paid $10.00 for this which is $0.07 per Piece.




Instructions.






Other side of the box.  You can see there are three other sets.








Parts 1.  2x2 Studless Slope, Bricks, Plates, Mudguard Plate, 2x2 Slope
Plates w/Cutout, Tiles, Jumpers, Studless Slopes, Wedge Plate, Bracket,
Bar Plates, Grille Tiles, Hinge Plates, Clip Plates, and Cheese Slopes.








Parts 2.  2x2 Studless Slope, Mudguard Plate, Wedge Plates, 2x2
Slope Plates w/Cutout, Bar Plates, Axle Plates, Boat Sliders, Lampholders,
Click Hinge Plates, Headlight Bricks, Studless Slopes, Round Brick,
Clip Plates, Round Plates, Cheese Slopes, Wheels, and a Bracket.





Build.  Battle Cart and Frame.  There were plenty of leftover pieces.

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? Yes. (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  A neat set, but it needs more filler to be truly useful.
