Review: 30657 McLaren Solus GT Polybag

This is a new for 2023 polybag I found at Target.  Brickset has it as available in March but I'm guessing it fell victim to the usual post-Covid shipping issues.


Bag.  MSRP is
 $4.99, for a $0.05 Price per Piece.

Instructions & Stickers












Parts 1.  Plates, Cross Plates, Wedge Plate w/Cutout, Wedge Plates,
2x3 Plate w/Cutout, Transparent Plates, Tile, Wedge Studless
Slopes, Studless Slope, Tires, Rims, Axle Plates, and Brackets.







Parts 2.  Inverted Curved Slopes, Studless Slope, Plates, Wedge Studless
Slopes, Transparent Plate, Half Circle Tiles, 2/3 Bricks, Quarter Circle
Tiles, Apollo Studs, Wedge Plate, Triangle Tiles, and Robot/Droid Head.





Build.  IO Frigate (2Ras+d8/1Y).

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+).  This has a bunch of useful parts, makes a cool looking build, and still has plenty of bits left over.
