I was out the other night shopping at Five Below for more of the recent Halloween sets. Then I discovered these. I wasn't sure if they were Lego compatible or not -- given the parts count -- but luckily the bottom of the case is clear so I could see the pieces. Tan is not usually one of my go to colors but there are some interesting parts in here as you can see from the label.
Box. MSRP is $6.00, for a $0.05 Price per Piece.
| Instructions. |
Parts 1. Dish, Plates, Technic Plate, Round Large Jumpers, Inverted Studless
Slopes, Transparent Bar, Studless Slope, Curved Slopes w/Wing, Tooth Plates,
Ball Joint Plates, "T" Plate, Padlock, Large Cheese Slopes, Bar Plates, Barrel
Hinges, Barrel Ball Joint, Axle Ball Joints, Battle Droid Torsos, Tooth Tiles,
1x1x2/3 Bricks w/Stud on Side, Travis Brick, Exo-Force Arm, and Bars.
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+). This is the first time I've seen Battle Droid Torsos from a third party. And it's been a while since I've seen one of those clone brick "T" Plates too.
