LEGO Creator Happy Turtle 30476 Set Review for MF0


The Bag
I picked this set up at Target and until the end of the weekend I believe is Free with a single set purchase of 24.99 or  more but you can buy it buy itself. I was originally told my store was sold out but than found it up by the Main Cashier section.

Can you build some sort of creation right away?

I gave it a shot and was close but couldn't get an actual build from it but I think there is some room for inspiration of a space ship in here. -5 points.

Parts 1
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.

$2.99 / 33 = $0.09 for just under ratio for +5 points! Yes, that is $2.99!

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? 

Yes, look at all the mixel joints but be better if there was pieces of the 1x2 with the cup on the short end. +5 points.

The Set

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

Given the parts are Mixel Joints and I almost got a frame with maybe some spaceship design potential I will give this +5 as well.

Total: We have an A- set and a cute little turtle!

LEGO Disney Cinderella's Kitchen 30551 Set Review for MF0

The Bag
I found this one at Toys 'R' Us and honestly sort of surprised at the results.

An ok Frame called Kitch
Can you build some sort of creation right away?

So I sort of got two, not the greatest but I think I have made worse so with one frame AND a station I will give this a proper +5 points.

Entertainment Station - for moral
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.

$3.99 / 37 = $0.11 per part. I thought it was going to be worse but still over the ratio for -10 points, this is the sword to the heart.

Parts 1
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 set certainly has some useful and fun parts so +5 points!

Parts 2
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?

I am a bit torn on this one given I got two things but nothing impressive so I will go with 0 points.

The Set
Total: So we have a score of a plain B. I was sort of surprise as Disney Princess tend to lean more to a C rating of some kind but a touch of potential here.
