Review: Brickcraft 72609BFS D.I.Y Egg

Brickcraft is debuting some new sets for Easter this year.  They still have the Peeps sets but they have a bunch of new sets this time around.  This one seems to be a, smaller, riff on Lego's Decorative Easter Egg.


Box.  MSRP is $6.99 for a $0.08 Price per Piece.  I paid $4.97 at Walmart for a $0.05 Price per Piece.

Instructions.












Parts.  Plates, Bricks w/Studs on Side, Corner Bricks, Truncated Cone, Corner
Plates, Studless Slopes, Large Cheese Slopes, Double Sided Plates, Heart Tiles,
Round Tiles, Stadium Tiles, Quarter Circle Tiles, and Bricks w/Stud on Side.


Build.  Frame (2W), Station and
two 1 Hit pieces 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 like all the Aqua, and the 3x4 Plates are interesting.  It's not conventional but it should add a splash of color to your regular choices.
