LEGO Speed Champions Ford Mustang GT 75871 Set Review for MF0

The Box
Continuing with the Speed Champions.

Ship Front
Ship Back
Comparison
Can you build some sort of creation right away?

A similar ship to the last Speed Champion but this time a Double Defense Ship with 1 Weapon System. +5 points!
Stickers
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part

$14.99 / 185 = $0.08 per piece for under the ratio for +5 points!
Parts 1
Parts 2
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?

Absolutely for +5 points.
Parts 3
Parts 4
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts? 

Going to go with a yes on this one for +5 points.


The Set Front
The Set Back
Total: Another A+ Set, specially if you want some blue!

LEGO Speed Champions Chevrolet Corvette Z06 75870 Set Review for MF0

The Box
I picked this up at TRU which seems to have exclusive rights to Speed Champions outside of LEGO stores. Do we have another theme week?

Ship Back
Ship Front
Comparison
Can you build some sort of creation right away?

I built this frigate with full systems (1 Blue, 1 Yellow and 1 Red system). +5 points.


Stickers Galore
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.

$14.99 / 173 = $0.09 per piece is below the ratio for +5 points!


Parts 1 - Want Hub Caps?
Parts 2
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?

This is a yes despite some parts that could be a challenge for use. +5 points


Parts 3
Parts 4
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?

Essentially I think this is a yes for +5 points.


Set Back
Set Front - No Stickers on
Total: A+ set! My original intent was trying to build a minifig scale frame but I did not succeed. Instead I got a nice frigate I am rather happy with.
