After the last Forever Clever G.I. Joe review I went out and tracked down as many sets as I could. Let's take a look at the smaller sets this week. I bought all of these at Marshalls.
Box. MSRP is $4.99, for a $0.11 Price per Piece.
Instructions & Stickers.
Minifig. This was annoying to assemble again. While it shows
a Cobra trooper on the box art, that's Cobra Commander.
Jumpers, Clip Plates, Truncated Cones, Pyramid "Tile",
Hinge Brick Top, Hinge Brick Base, Brick w/Studs on Side,
Cone, Double Cone w/Ball Joint, Taps, and Minifig RPGs.
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? No. (-5)
Score: -5 (B-). That melted brick is just awful. The price isn't bad but the parts count isn't great.
