Review: 6033 Stuntz Bathtub Stunt Bike

When this set was revealed in 2022 a few of us in the MFZ community wondered about the possibility of using the tub piece in mecha builds.  So I finally caved in and bought one to see what it actually looks like.


Box.  MSRP is $7.99 for a $0.57 Price per Piece.

Instructions.










Minifig.






Parts 1.  These were loose in the box.  Tub 
Motorcycle Fairing, and Motorcycle Body.

 Parts 2.

Parts 3.   




Parts 4.  Tire, Rim, Tap, Minifig Rubber Ducky, and Minifig Handlebar.











Build.  2Rh(ducky)/2Rd(tap)/1Y(handlebars).  If you remove the 
Ducky and Tap you have two mounting points for Systems. 

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?  No.  (-5)
Score: -5 (B-).  Yeeeaaah.  This is so not worth it.  I guess I was hoping for some other mounting points on the Tub Motorcycle Fairing than the Stud/Anti-Stud ones.  The Price per Piece is horrible too.
