Review: Make-It Blocks Birds 3

Carrying on with the third of four sets in the fourth new line of Make-It Blocks sets this year.


Box.  MSRP is
 $1.25, for a $0.03 Price per Piece.

Instructions.














Parts.  Round Plate, Round Brick w/Leaves, 3x4 Leaf, Round Jumper, Clip
Plates, Angled Axle/Pin Connector, Axle Connector, Perpendicular Axle
Connectors, Studless Slopes, Printed Tooth Plate, Apollo Studs, Inkwells,
Round Tile, Round Plates w/4 Knobs, Cheese Slope, Bracket, Axles, Skeleton 
Arms, Wings, Minifig Flipper, Travis Brick, Pneuma-T, and Minifig Speargun.




Build.  Hover Frame and 1 Hit piece of Cover.

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?  No.  (-5)
Score: +10 (A-).  I had to stretch a bit to make something from this set.  The selling point for me has to be the Red Pneuma-T.  Also, the Axle Connector isn't as fluted as the Lego version so it won't slot into the space between Studs.  Which means you need the Inkwell if you want to connect it to a non-Technic Plate/Brick.
