Review: 60279 Fire Hazard Truck

Not my usual thing but I saw the markdown so I figured I'd give it a try.


Box.  MSRP is $9.99, for a $0.12 Price per Piece.  As you see I
didn't pay full price for this, which leads to a $0.10 Price per Piece.







Instructions.






Minifig.  That dual-molded helmet looks great.





Parts 1.  Round Plate, Plates, 4x4x2/3 Wedge, Tires, 2x4 Vehicle Bases w/Suspension, Plow, Slopes, Windscreen, Mudguard Plate, Bracket,
1x2x1.6 Bricks w/Studs on Side, Round Bricks, Brick, and 2x2x2 Box.

  





Parts 2.  Plates, Studless Slopes, Printed Studless Slope, Box Door, Bracket,
Minifig Steering Wheel, Domes, Lampholders, Bar Plates, Plate w/Door Rail, Rounded
Plates, Tile, Clip Plates, Round Plates, Hinge Brick Top, Inverted Slopes, Rims,
Round Tiles, Ball Joint Plates, Flame Pieces, Minifig Visors, Stud Shooter, Minifig Megaphone, Vehicle Axles w/Cutouts & Wheel Holders, and String w/End Studs.



Build.  Battle Cart (2Rd+d8/1G/1Y), Station, 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+).  Wow.  That is a surprisingly useful set.  
At the price I bought it for, the score is a more respectable, +15 (A).
