Review: Linoos LN8044 Peanuts Circus Balloon

After reviewing that first Miniso set, I felt like the bricks were of a decent quality so I went back and bought one of the Peanuts sets that had caught my eye initially.  Except it turns out they're manufactured by a different company, Linoos, and just sold by Miniso.


Box. I paid $10.00 for this which gives a $0.06 Price per Piece.  Originally it was more expensive.

Pinhole Axle Plates, Bar Plates, Plates, Clip Bar Holders, Studless

Build.  Two Frames, a Station, and a 2 Hit piece of 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?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  Oh yeah, I'm getting more of these.
