Review: 76168 Captain America Mech Armor

 Let's look at the second of the three new Marvel character mecha for 2021.


Box. I paid $9.99 for this which gives a $0.08 Price per Piece.






Instructions.









Minifig.











Parts 1.  This was loose in the box.










Parts 2.  Cockpit Shell, Technic Plates, Plate, Inverted Double Slope
w/Cutout, Studless Slopes, Hinge Plate, Clip Plate, Panel, Ball Joint Plates, Inverted Studless Slopes, Bar Plates, Exo-Force Arms, Triple Ball Joint
Connector, Slopes w/Cutout, and Minifig Shield (shoulda put it with Cap.)







Parts 3.  Boat Slider, Round Large Jumpers, Printed Tile, Round Plates, Inverted
Tiles, Inverted Tile w/Pin, Brackets, Bar Plates, Ball Joint Plates, Inverted
Studless Slopes, Studless Slopes, Large Cheese Slopes, Slope w/Cutout
and No Studs, Technic Brick, Plate, Clip Plate, and Corner Tiles.




Parts 4.  Dishes, Round Tile w/Hole, Ingots, Plates, Brackets, Friction
Pins, Bar Holders w/Clip, Bar Ball Joints, and Apollo Studs.




Build.  Two Frames (2Rd/1Y) and one Station. 
I'm happier with my builds for this review.

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+).  I like this one better than the Thor set.  A more cohesive color scheme, no stickers, and a slightly better parts selection.
