Review: H11103 Stax Elephant

I'm always on the lookout for new and different sets to review.  I was in Ocean State Job Lots the other week looking for snacks for our most recent game and I stumbled across this set.


Box.  I paid $5.00 for this which is either $0.08 or $0.07 per
Piece depending on how you interpret the quantity of pieces.

Instructions.














 Parts 1.  Sound & Light Brick.  This was built into the packaging.




Parts 2.  Battery, and Sound Bricks.










 Parts 3.  Bricks, Slopes, Inverted Slopes, Plates, Tiles, and Cheese Slopes.


Build.  Two 2 Hit pieces of 
Cover, one IO Frigate.




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+).  Beyond the inexpensive light and sound bricks I'm not that impressed.
