Review: Well Played 35001-04 TMNT Donnie's Lab

I found this at Wegman's recently.  I reviewed some TMNT polybags a few years ago, and 5 Below has carried TMNT themed sets for a while but this is the first real non-Lego set from this IP that I've reviewed.


Box.  I don't remember how much I paid at Wegmans,
but the MSRP is $10.00, for a $0.16 Price per Piece.

Instructions & Stickers.








Minifig.














Parts 1.  Plates, Bricks, Arch, Minifig Seat, Corner Tile, Inverted Slope, Tiles, Slope,
Door Runner Panels, 1x1x3 Brick, Corrugated Panel, and Transparent Macaroni.




Parts 2.  Brackets, Tiles, Plates, Apollo Stud, Transparent
Apollo Studs, Transparent 1L Pin Connector, Slope w/Cutout,
Brick w/Stud on Side, Clip Plates, Cone, Bars, Bar w/Stop,
Pin/Axle, Half Pins, and Transparent Pin Connector.



Build.  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?  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?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +5 (B+).  Honestly, I bought this just for the Transparent Green pieces.  Otherwise there's not a lot to recommend this set.
