It's been a while since I've done a regular Mega Construx review but I grabbed this the other day in Wegman's so let's take a look. For some reason this is part of the Canadian Hot Wheels line, not the American. Weird. Probably good that I grabbed it then. This is the first Medium-sized(?) Hot Wheels set I've reviewed specifically based off a real world car.
Box. I paid $12.99, for a $0.18 Price per Piece.

Package. This is the bag for the second set of parts. A little overkill. Speaking
of parts -- including the instructions and the minfig -- I only count 70 pieces. ??
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+). I find the number of parts with odd dimensions in this set interesting. I'll have to keep an eye out for more copies.
