Review: 71779 Lloyd's Dragon Power Spin

After I reviewed the last one, I realized that I was actually interested in the parts in this new Ninjago "spinner" set.  So, let's have at it then.


Box.  MSRP is
 $10.99, for a $0.20 Price per Piece.

Instructions.










Minifig.





 Medium Claws, Weapon Holder, and Translucent Round Tiles.



Parts 1.  Loose in box.  Spinjitzu Minifigure
Stand w/3 Outer Studs and Ball Holders.





Parts 2.  Translucent Rock Half, Translucent Dish, Dragon Power Spheres,
Minifig Blade Tonfas, Translucent Round Bricks, Round Tiles w/Hole,
Round Plate, Round Large Jumper, Dishes, Wedge Plates, Boat Sliders,
Plates, Lampholders, Translucent Cheese Slopes, Tiles, Translucent
Round Tiles, Bar Studs, Apollo Studs, Spear Tips, and Travis Bricks.



Build.  Brawler Frame (2Rh+d8/2B) and Station.
 
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+).  This set only has one piece less than the other one I reviewed but I feel like it has less potential.
