I wasn't expecting to do this review -- in fact I had another one planned to finish out the year -- but I stumbled across this set, and a bunch of others, in a local Target prior to the release date so here you go. This is actually the first Lego review in a while that I have been somewhat excited about.
Box. MSRP is $10.99, for a $0.08 Price per Piece.

Build. Two Frames and a 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? 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+). I wasn't expecting much from this set -- it is part of the City line after all -- but it has a bunch of good parts at a decent price point.
