Review: Brickcraft 72457 Candy Cars Reese's Peanut Butter Racer Polybag

So I was going to continue on with the new Make-It Blocks sets but I ran into a bunch of new to retail Brickcraft sets at my local Newbury Comics so I'm switching to them instead.  Let's do a week of Hershey's set reviews.  Now I know that the proper name for this line is Hershey's but "Candy Cars" sounds so much better.  So there.  Also the packaging is a polybag with a resealable top.


Bag.  MSRP is $6.99
, for a $0.09 Price per Piece.  I paid $9.99 at Newbury Comics for a $0.14 Price per Piece.

Instructions.










Parts 1.  Translucent Windscreen.


Parts 2.  Printed Tile, Printed Mudguard, Plates,
Tires, Axle Plates, Mudguard, Tile w/Studs on
Edge, Bricks, Slopes, Curved Cheese Slopes,
Tiles, Grille Tile, Jumpers, Lampholders,
Inkwells, Transparent Round Tiles, Round Tiles,
Translucent Stadium Tiles, Bar Studs, Clip Tiles,
Inverted Clip Tiles, Bar, Double Studless Slope,
Brackets, Studless Slope, Rims, and Minifig Cupcakes.
 
  
Build.  IO Hunter/Seeker Frigate (2Rs/2Y2W). [Systems are Yellow.]

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+).  Inverted Tile Clips used to seem like the Holy Grail until Lego started making their own.  
The score for the price I paid is +5 (B+).
