Review: 75163 Star Wars Microfighter Series 4 Krennic's Imperial Shuttle

Okay, this one's been sitting around for a while.  But, it's been a short, busy week and I don't feel like attempting the two double Microfighter sets I have sitting in my backlog.  So here's the midpoint of Microfighter Review Week.


Box.  MSRP was $9.99 for a $0.13 Price per Piece.







Instructions.









Minifig.








Parts 1. Plates, Wedge Plates, Slope, Jumper, Bar Plates, Inverted Slopes,
 Tiles w/Clips, 1x4 Mod. Tile w/Studs, Vertical Clip Plates, Cheese Slopes, Mod.
Plate 2x2x2/3 w/2 Studs on Side, Hinge Plate, Corner Slopes, 2x2 Curved
Slope, Brackets, Bar Holders w/Bar, Minifig Blaster, Stud Shooters, and Brick.



Parts 2.  Plates, Hinge Plate, Round Plates, Large Cheese
Slopes, Studless Slopes, Grille Tile, Tiles, Cheese Slopes,
Stud Shooter Triggers, and Headlight Bricks.







Build. IO Frigate (2Rs/2B) and HVA.
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+).  Another Microfighter set falling victim to the Star Wars Tax.
