Review: 30635 Friends Beach Cleanup Polybag

I found this in the Seasonal section at Target.


Box.  MSRP is
 $4.99, for a $0.10 Price per Piece.

Instructions.










Minidoll.














Parts.  Plates, Quarter Circle Plate, Fern Leaves, Arches, Minifig Surfboard,
Tile w/Studs, Wedge Plate, 1x4x2 Bar, Wedge Brick, Minifig Flippers, Minifig
Camera, Travis Brick, Printed Brick, Otter, Star Tile, Double Jumpers, Grille

Build.  1 Hit piece of Cover, Mini-Bot, Terrain.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  At.  (0)  
(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: +15 (A).  There are some neat pieces in this set but I'd say it's more of a parts pack.

  1. Thanks for reviewing these. My daughter loves the Friends collection, so it's nice to know that some pieces can be "repurposed" for MFZ when we get enough of them.

    1. Friends sets are awesome for MFZ. I love the colors they use and they have useful parts too.

    2. Definitely. Do you know of any frame designs that are relatively simple and don't use a lot of Technic parts?
