Review: 75268 Star Wars Snowspeeder

And right after I basically swear off "4+" sets I find another one on Clearance and decide to review it.  Doesn't hurt that the limited parts count makes it easier to actually review.


Box.  MSRP was $19.99 for a $0.22 Price per Piece.
I picked this up for $11.00 for a $0.12 Price per Piece.




Instructions.




Minifigs.










Parts 1.  Loose in box. 





Parts 2.  Hinged Windscreen, 2x2x3 Bricks, Printed Slope, Bricks,
 Slopes, Handle Tile, Translucent Brick, Brick 1x2x1.6 w/Studs on Side,
Bars w/Brick, Tiles, Plates, 1x2 Studless Slopes, and Gear Racks.







Parts 3.  Round Jumper, Grille Tiles, Panels, Studless Slopes
w/Cutout, Hinge Plates, Studless Slopes, Rims, Printed Large
Cheese Slope, Minifig Space Torch, and Friction Pins. 





Parts 4.  Translucent Rock Panel, Dish, Webbed Dish, Plates, Mudguard Plate,
Mod. Plate w/Vents, 3x2-2x2 Inverted Bracket, Slopes, Round Tiles, Triangles
w/Clip, 2x3 Slope w/Wing End, Claw Plate, Bricks, Tile w/Studs, Minifig Blaster,
Handle Brick, Printed Large Cheese Slope, Launcher Brick, Brick w/Studs on
Side, Bars w/Stop, Minifig Telescope, Cone, Downward Tooth Plate, and Jumper.



Build.  Frame (2Ra+d8/1G) and 1 Hit piece of Cover.
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+).  I managed a build without the Large Wedge Piece but it still remains the "elephant in the room".  Plenty of leftover pieces though.
