After that deep dive into terrain building let's take a break and do a review. We've actually been talking and speculating about this set on the MFZ Discord since it was announced at the start of the year.
Bag. I paid $4.99 at Walmart, for a $0.11 Price per Piece.

Build. Station. Representational art of a Transit Gate? An actual portal?
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? Yes. (+5)
Score: +5 (B+). It has some nice pieces but I feel like it needs one more of everything that has an odd amount for it to be really useful. I already buy two of every polybag anyway but I shouldn't have to.
