Review: Mega Bloks GVM30 Hot Wheels Muscle Bound

I know Mega Bloks isn't a company that has long shelf life for some of their products but it looks like this set has already been discontinued from the Hot Wheels line.


Box.  MSRP was $9.99, for a $0.10 Price per Piece.

Instructions.










Minifig.




Parts 1.  
Mod. Plate(3x4/5x5/3x4 w/2x5 indent).





   






Parts 2.  Wheels, Printed Double Triple-Curved Wedge, Printed
Studless Slope, Transparent Modified Plate 2x5 w/Studs
on Side, Transparent Windscreen, and Printed Panels.






Parts 3.  Axle Plates, Bricks, Plates, Triple Curve Slope,
Steering Wheel, Inverted Slopes, Inverted Slopes w/Cutout,
Studless Wedge, Clip Plates, Slope w/Cutout, Brackets, Bars
w/Panel, Corner Plates, Wedge Tile, and Double Jumpers. 




Parts 4. Wedge w/Cutouts, Mudguards,
and Modified Plate 2x5 w/Studs on Side.





Parts 5.  Plates, Jumper, Tall Cheese Slope, Tile, Transparent Corrugated Tiles, Cheese Slopes, Transparent Slope w/Cutout, Slope w/Cutout, Large Cheese Slopes, Plates w/Angled Wedge, Plates w/Wedge, and Brackets.



Build.  IO Cruiser.  This might actually fit in with my 13th Fleet.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  At.  (0)  
(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: +15 (A).  The Metallic Olive Green parts are what sells this set for me.  I think the only other one with that color parts is the Aristo Rat.
