Review: Lazer Blocks US101-1966 Stegosaurus

Let's finish out the week with a Block Tech sub-line, Lazer Blocks.  I'm always looking for Translucent Green pieces to Color Tag Movement systems with so this should be a windfall for me.


Box.  MSRP is $6.00, for a $0.05 Price per Piece.

Instructions.












Parts 1.  Translucent Plates, Translucent Brick, Translucent Wedge Plates, Translucent
Bar Plate, Translucent Clip Plate, Translucent Ball Joint Plates, Translucent Studless
Slopes, Translucent Brackets, Translucent Round Light Brick, and Translucent Tails.






Parts 2.  Translucent Wedge Plates, Translucent
Ball Joint Plates, Translucent Plates, Translucent
Large Cheese Slopes, Translucent Studless Slopes,
Translucent Lampholder, and Translucent Brackets.





Parts 3.  Translucent Tooth Plates, Translucent Rounded
Clip Plate, Translucent Cheese Slopes, Translucent
Brackets, Translucent Round Plates w/Petals, and Barbs.



Build 1.  Two IO Frigates, and a HVA.

Build 2.  Can't be built at the same time as Build 1.  Frame (2W) and 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?  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 actually felt better about this set after putting together the second build.  It has plenty of good parts but the color balance might be off a little.
