Review: 60224 Satellite Service Mission

I bought this at one of my local Targets.  I didn't really plan on reviewing this as the normal price was the normal over-price for City sets.  This was marked down though, and it was also the last one of a discontinued set, so I grabbed it.

Box.  MSRP was $8.99 for a $0.11 Price per

Piece.  I paid $6.29 for a $0.08 Price per Piece.

Instructions and stickers.

Minifig. 

Parts 1.  Windscreen, Triple Inverted Wedge, 6x4 Inverted Slope

Padlocks, Plates, Round Plates, Log Bricks, Round Tiles,

Build.  IO Cruiser.

Set Build 1.  I built the set as I have plans for it.  In 6P scale the ship

is roughly 43 feet long.  The satellite could function as a Station.

Set Build 2.  In 6P scale the ship is roughly 45 feet wide.

It is made of 69 pieces, which is 12 Hits (rounded up).

 

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+).  Not a bad little set, it just falls victim to the horrible pricing of the City line.  The score for the price I paid is +20 (A+).
