Review: Zuru Max Dragon Attack

I remember seeing a set like this a couple of years ago, although that set had a "minifig" included.  They were pulled off the shelf for being a "small parts hazard" which is weird because being a Lego knock-off it has small pieces by its very nature.


Box.  I paid $4.99 for this, for a $0.05 Price per Piece.  I've
found these in both 5 Below and Ocean State Job Lots.
 
Instructions.







Parts 1.  Inverted Slopes, Slopes, Studless Slopes,
Bricks w/Studs on Side, and Wedge Plates.








Parts 2.  Teeth Plates, Dishes, Flames, Bar Plates, Double Clip
Plates, Hinge w/Ball Joint Socket, Triple Curve Slopes, Ball Joint
Plates, Padlocks, Jumpers, Vertical Hinge Plates, Tooth Plates,
Clip Plates, Apollo Studs, Triple Curve/Inverted Slopes, and Tails.


 

Build.  This is why I love sets with many multiples of parts, two Frames [2Rd (flame gun) 1B (leg armor) 1G (extra leg) 1Y (head)] and 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?  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+).  Two Frames and a Station with a handful of extra parts, that's pretty damn good.
