Review: Forever Clever GJ3521-03 Ninja Speed Cycle

After the first 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. These are always annoying to assemble.  While it's an old school version
of Snake Eyes pictured in the box art, it's a post-issue 53 version in the box.





Parts.  Motorcycle, Wedge Plates, Plates (Not sure if you can see it but the Anti-Stud in the bottom of that 2x3 Plate is nonexistent.) Tiles, Slope w/Cutout, Slope, Tires, Inverted Slope, Windscreen, Jumper, Round Bricks w/Pinhole, Double Cone w/Ball Joint, Taps, 2/3 Brick w/Stud on Side, Brackets, and Rims.




Build.  Another IO Frigate (2Ras/1B).

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-).  More poor quality control cancels out the interesting parts.
