Review: Make-It Blocks Construction Set 1

After the news of Dollar Tree raising it's prices to $1.25, I decided to dip into my backlog to hopefully give people a head start before that happens.


Box.  MSRP is $1.00 for a $0.02 Price per Piece.





 Instructions & Sticker.










Minifig.  We're back to extra bits with this one.




Parts.  Propeller, 2x3 Plate w/Rounded End, Plates, Tiles, Pin Tile, 2x2 Studless
 Slope w/Lip, Ball Joint Plate, Dishes, Jumper, Large Cheese Slope, Brackets,
Ball Joint Hook, Plates w/Race Car Grille, Clip Plates, Clip Tiles, Round Tiles,
Stadium Tiles, Transparent Round Plates, Bar, Pneuma-T, and Minifig Shovel.



Build.  2Ra/2Y Frame.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Below.  (+5)  (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: +20 (A+).  While I feel it has several useful parts, it wastes 11 pieces on the minifig.
