I purchased this a few weeks ago and I finally found time to review it.

Box.  MSRP is $9.99 for a $0.07 Price per Piece.

Review: 41485 Brick Headz Finn

Honestly, I bought this to get one piece I needed.  The Brick Headz line is good for making starships though, so let's see how well this one reviews.


Box.  MSRP was $9.99 for a $0.11 Price per Piece.  As you can see I didn't pay full price.

Instructions.

Parts 1.  This was loose in the box.

Parts 3.  Bricks, Headlight Bricks, Plates, Round Plates, Clip Plates, Jumpers, Tiles, Printed Tiles, Minifig Nozzles, a Clip tile, and a Cone.

Build. Pocket carrier (2Rpd/1K/1Y).

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.)

Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts? Yes. (+5)
Score: +5 (B+). Decent score, but a low parts count brought it down.

Review: 40354 Brick Headz Dragon Dance Guy

I bought this at the same time I bought the Samurai Mech.  So it looks like there's going to be a lot of red and gold parts in the reviews this week.  This set confuses me.  The Dragon Dance doesn't involve wearing a costume and Lego put out another set that gets it right.  So what's up with this one?

Box.  I paid $9.99, for a $0.06 Price per Piece.

Instructions.

Parts 1.  Plates, Bricks, Mod. Plates, Mod. Bricks, Round Bricks.

Parts 2.  Red Tooth Plates,
Trans-Red Minifig Heads!

Parts 3.  1x2 Technic Plate, 1x1-1x1 Brackets, Minifig Microphones.

Build.  IO Frigate again (2B/1Y).

The Questions:

Score: +20 (A).  Lots of good parts in useful colors.
