Review: 71700 Ninjago Jungle Raider

I picked up two of these back in March when Target was running a BOGO40%OFF sale.  It already has an excellent Price per Piece so getting two at a discount was a no brainer.


Box.  MSRP was
 $9.99 for a $0.08 Price per Piece.
Price per Piece for the sale value ($7.91) was $0.06.





Instructions and stickers.








Minifig. 










Parts 1.  Minifig Katanas, Plates, Tires, Axle Plates, Roll Cage Windscreen,
Wedge Plates, Brackets, Double Hole Technic Bricks, Rims, Curved Slope
w/Recessed Stud, Bar Plates, Studless Slopes, 2x4 Bent Perpendicular
Pin Connectors, Rubber Axle Connectors, and Exo-Force Arms.






Parts 2.  Plates, Boat Slider, Flags, Jumper, Tile Clip, Clip Plates, Vertical
Clip Plates, Tooth Plates, Lampholders, Printed Large Cheese Slope, Grille
Tiles, Friction Pins, Pins, Pin/Axle Connector, Studless Slopes, Cheese
Graters, Lightsaber Hilts, 3L Pin/Axles, 1L Pin Connectors, Lightsaber Bars,
Slopes w/Cutout, Minifig Dao, Round Tiles, and Technic Half Bushings.

Build.  Frame and IO Frigate.  I probably could have made
some Cover and/or a Station if I tried a little harder.
 
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+).  This is a versatile little set, well worth it.
