Review: Best Lock Tank

I picked this up a while back at Dollar Tree.  Todd Farnholtz in the MFZ Facebook group mentioned it so I had to have a look.  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.


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

Instructions & Stickers.













 Parts 1.  Plates, Tires, Wedge Plates, Corner Plates, Double
 Sided Plates, Round Tile, Brackets,  Studless Slopes, Round
 Plate, Modified Headlight Bricks, Minifig Head, and Rims.





Parts 2.  Plates, Grille tiles, Axle Plates, Turntable Base Turntable 
 Top, Jumper, round Bricks, Slopes, and Headlight Bricks. 





Build.  Two Armored Cars, a Station, and a 1 Hit piece of Cover.

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+).  No minifig and a color Lego doesn't have is a step in the right direction but, molding flash on some of the parts drags it back in the other.
