Review: Block Tech US24-1967 Mount Up! Horned Arrachni

This is the second of four sets from 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.  The name of this set!  I bumped this to the top of the backlog pile because I need some of the parts for my Nonbinary Generic Squad


Box.  MSRP was $4.99, for a $0.02 Price per Piece.

Instructions.










Minifig.





Parts 1. The ubiquitous Weapons Sprue.









Parts 2.  Ball Joint Pins, Friction Pins, Brackets, Cheese Slopes, Transparent Round Plates, Apollo Studs, Round tiles, Bar Studs, Transparent Round Tiles, and Barbs.











Parts 3.  Studless Slopes, Plates, Ball Joint Plates, Bar Plates,
Cheese Slopes w/Studs, Inverted Slopes w/Cutout, and Tile.



Parts 4.  Inverted Tiles, Long Cheese Slopes, Bricks w/Studs on
Corners, Double Jumpers, Large Cheese Slopes, Pin Connectors,
Ball Joint Plates, Exo-Force Arms, Minifig Axe, and Clip Claws.









Parts 5.  Plates, Bracket, Double Sided Plate, Small Inverted Slope,
Large Inverted Slope, Bricks w/Studs on Side, Cone, and Bricks.




Parts 6.  Studless Slopes, Wedge Studless Slopes,
Tiles, Plates, Inverted Tiles, Clip Tiles, and Claws.


Build.  Two Frames (2W) and a Station.
Plenty of leftover pieces as well.




 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 excellent "Mount Up" set.  Lots of Inverted Tile and Ball Joint pieces if that's what you're looking for.  You could probably build another Frame and/or station with the parts I didn't use.

  1. Looks interesting, As someone using minifigs as well,. the price might make the weapons sprue worth it alone

    Thanks for the review
