Review: Zuru Max Mystery Build 2 (DG20210621C)

I found these at Ocean State Job Lot two months ago while I was out shopping for junk food for a recent game.  The display box I found them in lists eight different builds so I rooted through what was there and found what looked to be seven different packages.


Egg.  I paid $2.99 for this.  MSRP is ????, for a $0.08 Price per Piece based on the parts count on the label.  Actual parts count is 61 pieces for a PpP of $0.05.

Instructions & Stickers

 












Parts 1.  Bricks, 2x3 Bricks w/Curved End, Slopes, Inverted
Slopes, Studless Slopes, Corrugated Bricks, and Brackets.






Parts 2.  Bar Plates, Double Clip Plate, Grille Tiles, Round Bricks, Jumpers,
Apollo Studs, Transparent Apollo Studs, Antenna (if you look closely, the
antenna is damaged and that limits its usefulness), and Transparent Cones.
 

Build.  IO Frigate (2Ras/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 don't feel like this deserves a top score.  It might have more parts than the last one but they're still mostly just basic bricks.
