Review: 60219 Construction Loader

I was walking through JC Penney the other night when I found this.  After a quick check of the price tag I saw it was on Clearance, so I bought it.


Box.  MSRP was $9.99, for a $0.11 Price per Piece.  I paid $7.49 for a $0.09 
Price per Piece.









Instructions & Stickers.








Minifig.  





Parts 1.  Roll Cage, Digger Bucket, Bent Lift Arms, Tires,
Wedge Plate, Plates, Mod. Plate 2x6x2/3 w/4 Studs on
Side, Bricks, Studless Slopes, Vertical Hinge Plate, Tile
w/Studs, Axle Plates, Fence, Rims, Bracket, Double Studless
Slope, Brick w/Studs on Side, Log Bricks, and Slopes.








Parts 2.  Tiles w/Studs, Tile, Plates, Jumper, Grille Tiles, Plates w/
Pinhole, Panel, Vertical Clip Plates, Large Cheese Slopes, Transparent
Round Plates, Inkwells, 1L Technic Connector, Round Tiles (Olive Green!),
Translucent Tiles, Translucent Plates, 3L Friction Pins, and 3L Pin.





Build.  Battle Cart (2RH+d8/1G/1Y), and a1 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+).  It's not a bad set at the Clearance price -- it'd have a +20 (A+) score -- but it has some weird parts quantities.
