Review: 30665 Baby Gorilla Encounter Polybag

Found in Target in the Toy Section on a sidekick with other polybags.


Bag.  MSRP is
 $4.99, for a $0.15 Price per Piece.

Instructions.










Minifig.














Parts.  Quarter Circle Plates, Swordleaf, Bricks, Inverted Arches, Minifig
 Backpack, Corner Slope, Slopes, Bar Brick, Round Plate w/3
Leaves, Rounded Plates, Studless Slope, Round Plate w/Flower
 Petals, Twigs, Clip Plate, Inkwells, and Round Large Jumper.

Build.  Station, or if you remove the baby gorilla it's 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?  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?  No.  (-5)
Score: -5 (B-).  Hey, look at that, a City set being horribly priced despite being a "core" Lego line.  Okay, it's easy to dunk on City sets -- and we really should to keep the company honest -- but I do like the Dark Green and Sand Green bits.  I'm also a sucker for Swordleaves.  I like that Bar Brick too.
