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 $0.08 per Piece. I actually
found this line a while ago on a wholesaler's website. So if
you really want them you just may be able to find them.
Instructions.
Parts 1. Round Plates, 2x2 Studless Slopes, Headlight Bricks, Plates, Boat Slider, Lampholder, Axle Plates, Brackets, Cheese Slopes, Clip Plates, Round Brick, Studless Slopes, Cone, Wheels, Minifig Telescopes, Clip Tile, and Mudguard Plate.
Parts 2. Plates, Round Plates, Slopes w/Cutout, Bar Plates, Grille Tiles, Tooth
Plates, Lampholders, Hinge Plates, Mudguard Tiles, Click Hinge Plates,
Clip Plates, Cheese Slopes, Clip Tiles, Headlight Bricks, and Round Bricks.
Build. Frame, Station, and Battlecart.
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+). Like the review on Monday this is a good set lacking only in some regular bricks to bulk it out.
