Review: Make-It Blocks Construction Set 2

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.  





Parts.  Plates, Mudguard Plates, Pin Tile, Axle Plates, Plates w/Door Rail, Ingots,
Grille Tile, Brackets, Transparent Round Plates, Tile w/Studs on Ends, Transparent
Round Tiles, Cheese Slopes, Perpendicular Axle/Pin Connector w/Extension,
 Headlight Bricks, Transparent Bricks, Tires, Ball Joint Hook, Ball Joint
Socket Hinge, Rims, Cylinder Hinge w/Pin, Bar, Perpendicular Split
Axle/Pin Connector, Minifig Wrench, and 6L Bar w/Stop Ring.



Build.  Battle Cart (2Ra/1G/2Y).

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+).  Yeah, this is more like it.  I'd have no problem putting a squad based on this build on the table for a game.
