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.

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

The Bag

This was the GameStop pre-order bonus for LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens. Frankly this is one of the best pre-order bonus!

Can you build some sort of creation right away? 

I couldn't build anything new but the set itself should be fun for Intercept Orbit as a nice HVA. +0 points

Comparison/The Set

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

I got this for free but as it is a polybag it most likely be $3.99

$3.99 / 43 pieces = $0.09 per piece for just under the ration 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?

Yes for +5 points.

Parts 2

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

Normally I say no but we did get a ship but it was the set so will just go with 0 points!

Total: With our funky points we get an A- but you need HVAs to play!

Parts 1

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

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 got some frame parts in this set. +5 points.

The Set

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

Another set that gives me mixed feeling for a...zero, we are going to call this breaking even for 0 points.

Like my Ride, bro? 

Total: A set, Impressive. Sort of like the build, not for MF0 or anything. I think it needs to go on my geek wall. Keep your eyes out for this one.

The Set

Set - Comparison

Total: So we end with another A set. Not to bad for the microfighter series! Once could argue the set build itself could be a frame but I think it pushing out of our suggested 10x10x12 box.

Frame Build

Frame Back

$9.99 / 105 = $0.10 for a break even for +0 points.

Handful?! Check the yes box! +5 points

LEGO Star Wars AT-AT Review for MF0

The Box

Isn't that like the cutest frame ever?

Frame in a Box?

Can you build some sort of creation right away? 

I think it is a frame in the box! The body pushes the limits but I think you will be good...maybe don't measure from the head? +5

Comparison

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

$9.99 / 88 = $0.11 per piece, above the ratio but only by a penny! -10 points. FYI: this is ALWAYS the easiest question/answer section.

Parts 1 - Some of the Placement seems random

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 an easy yes. +5 points.

Parts 2 - He wears the Helmet to hide his feelings.

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

This is pretty much a yes. +5

Parts 3

Total: B+ Not bad so far but I was hoping for better. If I catch this set on clearance I might pick up more for a frame squad of cuteness!!! I know I just went with the build bit I like to see what other frames others could build!
