Review: 30642 Birthday Train Polybag

I found this one in Joann Fabrics & Crafts thanks to a tip about a different polybag from Ed Miles on the MFZ Facebook group.


Bag.  MSRP is $4.99 for a $0.09 Price per Piece.

Instructions.











Parts.  Plates, Axle Plates, Tow Ball Holder Plate, Double Jumper, Large Jumper, Tiles w/Studs on Ends, Ball Joint Plate, Door Rail Plates, Brackets, Bricks, Transparent Brick, Train Wheels, Dome, Panel, Cone, Round Brick w/Pinholes, Flames, Double Curved Slopes, Tiles, Large Cheese Slope, Candlestick, Apollo Studs, and Round Plates.




Build.  Two IO Frigates and HVA.


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+).  It's a decent enough set but I'm not feeling it.
