Review: Block Tech US24-1967 Mount Up! Chaos Dragon 1

This is the first release of Block Tech's "Mount Up!" line dating back to 2021.  I purchased this at a 5Below store back before Christmas of that year.  I'm not sure why they all have the same part number and SKU.  The boxes were huge.


Box.  MSRP was $4.99, for a $0.03 Price per Piece.

Instructions.










Minifig.







Parts 1.  Minifig Weapons Sprue.  In a bag all by itself.
Wow, this goes all the way back to the first release.









Parts 2.  Tooth Plates, Clip Plates, Plates, 1x2 Cheese Slope, Tiles,
2x1 Cheese Slope, Inverted Studless Slopes, Lampholders, Wedge
Studless Slopes, Brackets, Barbs, and Transparent Round Tiles.








Parts 3.  Plates, Tiles w/Studs on Edge, Tiles, Wedge Plates, Bar
Plates, Ball Joint Plates, Studless Slopes, Corner Plates, Curved
Slopes w/Wing End, Tooth Tiles, Clip Claws, and Minifig Axe.




Parts 4.  Wedge Plates, Tiles, Plates, Ball Joint Bricks,
Inverted Slopes, Brackets, Slope, and Ball Joint Plates.




Build.  Two Frames (2Rh+d8 {claws}
2B {wings} 2W) and 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+).  Another solid set.  It's like buying three polybags for the price of one.
