Review: Blokko SX5019-6 City Traffic 3-in-1 Egg

I found these in my local Stop & Shop a while back after locating some Lego polybags I've already reviewed.  It was in the Seasonal section but I'm not sure if it was a late Easter placement or meant for some sort of post-Easter holiday.  I've seen other Blokko sets around but this is the first time I've had the chance to review a group of them.

Box.  I paid $2.99 for a $0.07 Price per Piece.

Other side.

Instructions.

Parts.  Plates, Wedge Plates, Corner Plates, Jumper, Grille Tiles, Studless

Slopes, Tiles, Axle Plate, Translucent Inverted Round Tile, Curved Slope

w/Lip, Wheels, Round Plates, Translucent Round Plates, Translucent

Cheese Slopes, Pin, Propeller, Brick w/Pinhole, and Brick.

  

Build.  IO Frigate.

 

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?  No.  (-5)
Score: +10 (A-).  Another good set.  I'm a little sad I didn't buy more of these.  I like the Light Lime and Medium Azure parts and they were fairly inexpensive.  There's nothing groundbreaking about this line, I just find the parts useful as a whole.

Not a Part.  Well, that is a stunning failure of the quality control process.

Purity: Blokko 3 in 1 Light FX Copters Review

People were asking about light brick sets over on the Facebook page so when the chance came to grab one at a discount I bought one.

Box.  MSRP seems to be $8.99.  This yields a $0.18 Price per Piece.  Dollar General has them for $5.00.  I paid $2.50 on sale for mine.

Instructions.

Parts.  Bricks, Slopes, Plates, a Round Plate, Kre-O style Jumper
-- which is a Turntable when combined with the Round Plate --
two Lampholders, two Light Bricks, and an Axle -- which is really
only there to act as a key for the Light Bricks.

Build.  Best I could manage.
  

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-).  I'm not sure if the Trans-Red Lampholders or the Trans-Clear Axle make this worth it.
