Review: Make-It Blocks Triceratops

Switching from flora to fauna, let's look at another new line of Make-It Blocks sets for this week's reviews.


Box.  MSRP is
 $1.25, for a $0.04 Price per Piece.

Instructions.













Parts.  Plates, Slopes, Wedge Plates, Hinge Plates, Clip Plates,
Curved Bricks w/Cutout, Travis Brick, Double Clip Plate,
Horns, Cheese Slopes, and Transparent Round Plates.






Build.  An Ijad Scorpion(!) mech.   

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'd say it needs a handful more parts to be super awesome but this set is a really good, inexpensive way to start a squad.
