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 Marvel Super Heroes The Milano 30449 Set Review for MF0

The Bag

This was a LEGO Store pay $30 get this free promo but a lot of those have become regular buy polybags so far this year so I am hoping this one follows that path too.

The Set

Can you build some sort of creation right away? 

The set as is can be dropped right into IO and I think could serve as a Capital Ship! +5 points

Parts 1

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

I forgot to check the ESV in the legal so going to go with $3.99 unless I see something different in the future than will update it.

$3.99 / 64 = $0.06 so very under the ratio for +5 points!

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, several good frame parts in this bag so +5 points!

Parts 3

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

Another quick and easy yes for +5 points!

Parts 4

Total: With my guessed value we have an A+ set and still have one if I did $4.99 honestly. Hopefully this makes it way as a general purchase for a bit; could be a fun entry set into Intercept Orbit.

LEGO Star Wars First Order Star Destroyer 30277 Set Review for MF0

The Set

Picked this polybag up at TRU, another Ship in a bag to get started in Intercept Orbit?

The Set....and The Build

Can you build some sort of creation right away?

Another Micro-ship build that can translate well into Intercept Orbit but probably as a Frigate, be nice if we can find a capital ship. +5 points.

Parts 1

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

$3.99 / 56 parts = $0.07 for under ratio for +5 points!

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? 

I think this is certainly a yes for +5 points!

Parts 3

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

This is where I split hairs and going to go with 0 points!

Total: Might have to pick up this A set to build some more.

LEGO Star Wars U-Wing Microfighter 75160 Set Review for MF0

The Box

Currently available everywhere LEGO is sold! I am very excited as I am very much a U-Wing groupie! Let's get inside already!

The Set/Build

Can you build some sort of creation right away?

Like the polybag before it and many of the Microfighters this set is ready to go for Intercept Orbit or to act as a base for your ship. +5 points

Parts 1

Parts 2

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

$9.99 / 109 = $0.09 per part for under ratio for +5 points!

Parts 3

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 this is the case for +5 points!

Parts 4

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

Another easy yes for +5 points!

Parts 5

Total: We have a mighty winner with an A+ (though I might be  a bit of a loaded judge). Have fun protecting the stars!

LEGO Star wars U-Wing Fighter 30496 Set Review for MF0

The Bag

I found this at Barnes & Noble in the toys section; it was hanging out with Star Wars display and NOT the actual LEGO Section.

Can you build some sort of creation right away?

Honestly I think this thing is perfect for IO so I am giving the set +5 for the build itself!

Parts 1

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

$3.94 / 55 for an amazing $0.07 per piece well under the ratio for +5 points.

Parts 2

If you can't build a creation right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?

Certainly a few parts in here good for frame building and given we got a ship I guess for a ship. IO changes the plate game a little. +5 points.

Parts 3

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

This is where it gets really hard; a bag of mostly plates like this I say no but they built a ship and it the smaller sizes which can be useful for frames depending on what your building so we will go with +5 points.

The Set

Total: An A+ set that is a start into your IO fleets is what I say. I am thinking Fast Carrier Frigates.

For Fun

LEGO The Batman Movie The Mini Batmobile Set 30521 Review for MF0

The Bag

I found this at TRU a while back but slipped through my reviewing cracks. Let's play catch up.

Gun Frigate

Can you build some sort of creation right away?

I built this small but dangerous looking Intercept Orbit frigate for +5 points.

Parts 1

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

$3.99 / 68 = $0.06 per part for a big under ratio for +5 points!

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 an absolute yes for +5 points.

Parts 3

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

I got a decent but small ship, I certainly have frame parts but not enough to make a frame. Going to go with a yes but barely earning the +5 points.

The Set

Total: An A + plus that could be just an A. (I mean if you work in black like Batman than it probably an A+)

LEGO DC SuperHero Girls Krypto Saves the Day 30546 Set Review for MF0

The Bag

This set is currently available from TRU.

Small Frigate

Can you build some sort of creation right away?

I built this alright but small frigate. Also you can probably hi-jack the jetpack on the krypling (???) and slap it onto a frame. +5 points.

Parts 1 - The Rare white Travis...

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

43.99 / 55 = $0.07 for below ratio for +5 points. For the Themes first polybag (I think) I am surprised it is under the ratio.

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?

Certainly some fun and useful parts here. Like to see someone use those 1x1 green tiles as faces as a cockpit but the angle might be a challenge. +5 points.

The Set - Pretty Cool Jet-Back...

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

I am going to go with yes for another +5 points.

Total: A+ set, fun little thing plus you get Krypto! Come on!

LEGO The Batman Movie Batman in the Phantom Zone 30522

The Set - "I am Batman."

As the posting of this post this set is at Target and you should find it in the season section (Currently Valentine's Day) but some stores might put it in the LEGO section by accident so keep your eyes peeled.

A frame - Cantaur

Can you build some sort of creation right away?

I got this quad walker that I am rather proud of. +5 points.

Parts 1

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

$3.99 / 59 = $0.07 per part for under ratio for +5 points!

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?

Several useful parts here, even some rare ones for Chub are connection. +5 points

Parts 3 Sort of

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

This is an easy yes for +5 points.

The Set

Total: Another A+ set from The Batman movie line; most impressive. I have already grabbed a few.

LEGO The Batman Movie The Mini Batwing 30524 Set Review for MF0

The Set

So starting the year strong with this set BUT unfortunately it is a LEGO Store exclusive when you buy over $35 of merch, each time. Hopefully it will make itself out into the wild.

The Frame

Can you build some sort of creation right away?

I got myself a decent little frame plus the set itself could be a nice wide frigate or a small sized cruiser; just depends where you bend the wings too really. +5 points.

Parts 1

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

(The value is stated as $3.99 so this will serve as our price until the set goes live outside of a purchase bonus).
$3.99 / 80 pieces = $0.05 per piece! Amazing. +5 points.

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?

Very much, several good parts. +5 points

Parts 3 - These Shield plates are appearing everywhere now

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

Despite a good chunk of plates over all I still think it is a worth while amount of MF0 useful parts for +5 points.

Ready to Blast into Space!

Total: We have an A+ set for my first review of the year! Hopefully we will see this out in general stores in the near future; hope you like working in Black...
