Review: Zuru Max Space Hunter

I actually had a set like this in my hands a couple of years ago, although that set had a "minifig" included.  I was prevented from buying it because it was 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.  Wedge Bricks, Bricks, Round Bricks, Slopes, Corrugated
Bricks, Bricks w/Studs on Side, and Brackets.







Parts 2.  Tires, Axle Plates, Rims, Translucent Flowers, Bar Plates, Grille
Tiles, Round Bricks, Translucent Cones, Translucent Apollo Studs, Apollo
Studs, Round Tiles, Stadium Cheese Slopes, and Levers & Bases.


 

Build.  Once again, I love sets with many multiples of parts, two Frames
[2Rd (cannon) 1B (capacitors) 1G (wheels) 1Y (antenna)] and Stations.

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+).  Another excellent set.  If you buy all three of the sets from this week you can have a demo game set up and all you'll need is a Ruler and dice.  If you buy doubles you can have a 4 on 4 match for just $30.
