LEGO Juniors Fire Car 30338 Set Review for MF0

The Bag

This is another Barnes and Noble find for me but these year so far polybags have been showing up across stores and promotions so just give it time maybe?

Parts 1 - Tree!

Can you build some sort of creation right away? 

I was not able to for -5 points but you do get a nifty little tree! I love these things for flash cover and yes, it is 3 bricks tall.

Parts 3

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

$3.95 / $0.12, ouch. Usually you only get this with Friends/Princess polybags. -5 points.

B&N's price has me...ify? I mean I have a feeling else where it might be rounded up to a full .99 or be even more pricey. Just have to see.

Parts 3 - I wonder if I can make a Fire and Rescue Frame Company...

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 true between the taps and the 1x2 plate with bar for +5 points.

The Set

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

This is sadly a no and not even 1 little cute tree will save it for -5 points.

Total: C+ set which is sad, even the tree is crying.

The Box

A set seen at every store of striking yellow and black. Let's check it out.

Stickers

Can you build some sort of creation right away? 

Not sure why I couldn't get a build at the time but looking at the parts I am sure I could have gotten at least a spaceship similar to the Speed Champion sets so I am going to give it a flat zero points.

$9.99 / 104 = $0.10 per part breaking right on the ratio for 0 points!

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.

LEGO City Fire Car Review for MF0

The Bag

This is the latest 'free' polybag for Toys R Us. When I got this bag I honestly got a little excited and hope I could build a Fire Fighting Frame from it or such. Well, let's see how well that went.

This is a man who loves his job.
