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
