Review: 76277 War Machine Mech Armor

I know I skipped reviewing the Marvel character mecha for 2023 -- I'll go back to them at some point -- to be honest I wasn't too enthused by any of them.  The first one for 2024 seems pretty interesting though.


Box. I paid $14.99 for this which gives a $0.10 Price per Piece.

Instructions.










Minifig.




Parts 1.  Loose in box.


Parts 2.  Curved Slopes w/Studs & Wing End, Technic Plates, Bar Plates, Brackets,
Rounded Plate w/Pinhole, Mod. Brick w/Pinhole and Plate, Inverted Tiles, Round
Large Jumpers, Studless Slopes, Dishes, Double Ball Joint Plate, Round Tile, Transparent Boat Sliders, 2x2 Plate w/Studs on Side, Ball Joint Plates, Lampholders,
Clip Plates, Corner Plates, Corner Tiles w/Notch, Padlocks, Tiles, Large Cheese Slopes,
Slopes w/Cutout, Double Inverted Slopes w/Cutout, and Curved Slopes w/Cutout.



Parts 3.  Cockpit, Cockpit Shell, Bent 2x6x0.6 Plates, Wedge Plates,
Spoiler, Stud Shooters, Stud Shooter Triggers, Ingots, Half Circle
Tiles, Rounded Plates, Stadium Tiles, Transparent Round Tiles,
Cheese Slopes, Round Plates, Bar Ball Joints, and Friction Pins.








Parts 4.  Printed Tile, Tile w/Studs. Wedge Studless Slopes, Exo-Force Arms,
Studless Slopes w/Cutout, Brackets, 2L Bars w/Stop, Clip Plates, Panel, Ball
Joint Plates, and Minifig Hair (Which I forgot to include with the minifig.).





Build.  Two IO Frigates (and plenty of leftover parts).

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).  Tons of useful parts, not a lot of color variation, but a decent price point.  I will probably buy more of these.
