Purity: Petit Blocks 62 Tank Review

Moving on to day two of the second Petit Blocks week.  Unlike normal reviews I'm going to be assembling according to the instructions to determine if they're really a Frame-in-a-Bag.  As I've mentioned before I purchased these through the Paper Asylum.


Bag.  MSRP was $7.99 -- after shipping -- for a $0.08 Price per
Piece.  (101 pieces)  Oh, did I mention the bags are resealable?










Instructions.







Parts.  Plates, Tiles, Transparent Tiles, Inverted Slopes, Slopes
 w/Cutout, Ball Joint Plates and, Transparent Plates.








Build and spare parts.  I see 2Rd+d8 for the arm guns, 2Ra for the tank gun,
 and 1G for the transformation.  So we have our first fully loaded build. 






Build 2.  Tank mode.






Size Comparisons.
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 the design, I don't like the build techniques.  This could have been tightened up.
