Review: Make-It Blocks Construction Set 3

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.  Wedge 4x4x2/3 Triple Curved, Mudguard Plate, Technic Pulleys, Plates,
Corner Plates, Thin Liftarms, Minifig Seat, Bracket, Studless Slope, Cheese
Slopes, Hinge Plate, Wheels, Double Pinhole Bricks, Panels, Round Bricks,
Minifig Telescopes, 3/4 Technic Pins, Axle, Bases, Levers, and Minifig Shovel. 



Build.  Frame (1B/1G+d8/2Y).

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+).  I like this set more for the component parts than for what you can build with it.
