The Forever Clever MMPR Battle Bike sets were so disappointing I gave up on reviewing them after one even though I bought all four. The Dinozord sets are finally on store shelves so I'm going to look at them now. The boxes are huge. They rival the size of the title of this blog post.
Box. MSRP is $5.00, for a $0.03 Price per Piece.
 |
| Instructions & Stickers. |
 |
| Minifig. |
The print on the helmet isn't great. I think Lego
is having a similar problem so it's not a big deal.
 |
Sleeve. Like the first Forever Clever set I
reviewed, it has a divider to keep the parts
bags from rattling around in the giant box.
Parts 1. Plates, Tiles, Clip Plate, Ball Joint Plate, Bricks, Bricks w/Stud on
Side, Cones, 2 Plate Tall Bricks, Bar Plates, Brackets, and Corner Plates.
 |
Plates, Double Sided Plates, Curved Bricks w/Studs, Bricks, Tiles, 1x2x2/3
Bricks w/Studs on Side, Corner Slopes, Round Tiles, Bracket, and Clip Claws.
Build. Two Frames (2W), a Station, and a 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? Yes. (+5)
Score: +20 (A+). I don't know why I keep coming back to this manufacturer. There's flashing on some of the parts -- you can see it in one of the pictures -- which means that quality control is lacking. The pricing is good, and there are good parts, but beyond that there's an intangible "ick" to the plastic quality. Is this what Mega Bloks used to be like back in the day? I know it has a top score but there are so many other sets to better spend your money on.
