I went polybag hunting at the local Discovery Center after PAX East. I managed to find a few that I didn't have so I'll be reviewing them for you this week.
Bag. I paid $7.00 for a $.015 Price per Piece. MSRP is $4.99, for a $0.11 Price per Piece.

Build. IO Frigate.
The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away? Yes. (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? Above. (-10) (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? No. (-5)
Score: -5 (B-). I thought this might be good when I first saw it listed on Brickset but after looking at all the parts I'm not impressed. This may be the cheapest way to get those Printed Battery Tiles though.

This is also in the 3 in 1 space boxed set. Be interesting to see how it flushes out at that rate in price per piece. I think it's $25 at Wal Mart.
ReplyDeleteThe Lego store has the 3-in-1 set (60441) for $32, which breaks down to $0.08 per piece.
