Review: 71760 Ninjago Jay's Thunder Dragon EVO

I've been interested in this set since early this year, I recently found it on Clearance and bought a copy.


Box.  MSRP is $19.99 for a $0.14 Price per Piece.  I paid $13.00 which is $0.09 per Piece.


Instructions.








Minifigs.

Plates, Curved Wedge Bricks, Round Plates, Plates, Bracket,

Parts 3.  Wings, Double Curved Slopes w/Studs, Round Tile, Printed Tile,

Build.  Two (tall-ish) Frames (2Rh/1B/1Gd8/1Y) and a Station.


The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)  
(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: +5 (B+). It's a good set hampered by the price.  If you can find it marked down it's definitely worth it.
