Review: Make-It Blocks City Construction Set 2

I bought these after the changeover to $1.25 by Dollar Tree, I think.  People have said some of the sets from this line are copies of Lego sets.  I bought the entire release because I think we have some good terrain selections.


Box.  MSRP is $1.25 for a $0.04 Price per Piece.

Instructions.





Parts.  Rock Panel, Axle Plates, Plates, Tiles, Bars 1x4x2 w/Studs, Brick, Slope, Bar Plate,
Grille Tile, Wheels, Panel, Bracket, Lampholders, Clip Plates, Transparent Cheese Slopes,
Transparent Round Plates, Skeleton Arms, (and a Minifig Shovel I cut out of the picture).





Build.  Battlecar with plenty of mounting points
and a LURP (Little Ugly Rock Piece) for Cover.

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?  No.  (-5)
Score: +10 (A-).  Not quite as good as yesterday's set but it has some good parts.
