Review: Best Lock Harvester

I picked this up a while back at Dollar Tree.  Best Lock doesn't have the best reputation in Lego circles.  The nickname "Worst Lock" should be a dead giveaway as to how people feel about it.  I think this is another case of someone mentioning it on one of the MFZ social media sites and me tracking it down.


Box.  I think I paid $1.25 for this which gives a $0.02 Price per Piece.

Instructions.










 Minifig.  Yeah, that's all you get.











Parts 1.  Half Cylinder, Plates, Hinge Plates, Tires, Translucent Curved 
Slopes, Double Sided Plates, Wheels, Headlight Bricks, and Barbs. 






 Parts 2.  Plates, Axle Plates, Brackets, Cheese Slopes, Tiles,
 Inverted Slopes, Curved Slope w/Cutout, and Rims.





Build.  Battlecart! (2Rh+d8/1G+d8), 1 Hit piece of Cover, and an 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+).  The Half Cylinder, the Barbs, and the Double Sided Plates make this one worth it for me.
