Review: Block Tech US24-2435 Mount Up Stealth Wing Manta Ray

This is the second of four sets in the latest "Mount Up!" release by Block Tech.  Once again, I'm reviewing this because it has parts that are useful to me.  :-)


Box.  MSRP is $5.00 for a $0.05 Price per Piece.  

Instructions.









Minifig.














Parts 1.  Minifig Weapons Sprue.  This was in a bag all by itself.  Why?!
They could have just left it loose or packaged it with other parts.




Parts 2.  Clip Plates, Flags, Wedge Studless
Slopes, Plates, Barb, and Clip Bar Holder.








Parts 3.  Tiles w/Studs on Side, Ball Joint
Plates, Jumpers, Inverted Studless Slopes,
Double Slopes, Cheese Grater, Hinge Plates,
Padlock, Lampholders, Round Ball Joint Plates,
Plates, Bars, and Bricks w/Studs on Corners.
  

Parts 4.  Plates, Bricks, Inverted Slope, Wedge Plates, Bricks 1x1x1.6 w/Studs
on Side, Ball Joint Plates, Bar Plates, Studless Slopes, Brackets, and Slopes.





Build.  Two Hover Tanks
(2Rd/1B/1G) 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+).  Another decent "Mount Up" set that gives you a good start on making a squad.
