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!

The Set

So I got this oddly named guy at TRU and couldn't ignore it given it piece count. Let's crack this open.

Frigate Back

Can you build some sort of creation right away?

I made this spaceship that I am rather proud of and surprised at. I didn't think I get build out of this bag. Not sure about systems except for a catapult for the middle piece. +5 points.

Frigate Front

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

$3.99 / 46 = $0.09 per piece. So under the ratio for +5 points.

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 is a yes for +5 points.

Parts 2

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

With Intercept Orbit things get more complicated here as plates can become useful depending on your builds so I will say yes given I was about to make a rad spaceship. +5 points.

The Set

Total: Surprising me this ends up being a A+ set! I am really proud of this ship and I am considering keeping it.
