Double Review for MFZ: LEGO Chima Acro Fighter & Double-Crosser

Original Review System by Mantis King.

Feels like it has been forever since my last review! This post is a two for one Chima special! We will be checking out Razcal's Double-Crosser and Ewar's Acro Fighter. Let's start with Ewar's Acro Fighter!

Ewar's Acro Fighter

The Bag

Can you build some sort of creation right away?

Maybe I was having an off day but I couldn't get anything built out of this bag except for the Acro Fighter itself. Minus 5 points.

The Instructions

Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? (Golden Ratio is 10 cents per part).

Found this at Target (Mine still has some) for $3.99. $3.99/33 = 12 cents per parts so above for -10 points. Not looking good.

The parts

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? 

Well outside of the plates and the mini figure I have seen the rest of these pieces be utilize in Frame builds before and the none rectangle plates might be good for Intercept Orbit so we have a yes on this one. 5 points!

Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts? (Yes = +5 / No = -5)

My gut says no on this set so -5.

Total: -15 giving it a grade of C but you could almost use it as is for say a HVA in Intercept Orbit which could bump this up to a C+ set but I think it still need a few more pieces/adjusting.

Razcal's Double-Crosser

The Bag

This dude...must be a bad guy. I am just saying, look at what he names his stuff!

Can you build some sort of creation right away?

Again I got nothing. -5 points!

Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? (Do I really have to say it again?)

I got this from Five Below for $3.99 (if you didn't notice). So $3.99 divide by 35 gets us a price per piece of 11 cents. A center better then the Acro Fighter but still above for -10 points.

Parts

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? 

A mix bag of parts that could work for Frames or Spaceships, +5 points.

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

Again I don't think it reaches 'handful' status with this one so I am saying no for another -5. Ouch

Total: Another -15 for a C grade Lego pack but again, I see some potential to modding the base set into a spaceship.

Another Potential Ship?
