LEGO Star Wars Poe's X-Wing Review for MF0

The Bag
I picked this up today when I went to Target to pick up a last few things to before going on my vacation. Lucky you.

Frame Front
Frame Back
Frame Comparison
Can you build some sort of creation right away?

I got this interesting frame above that I have mix feelings about. +5 points.

Parts 1
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.

$3.99 / 64 = $0.06, hot damn! Out side of clearance or thrift store finds I don't I have ever scene it that low for a LEGO set! +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?

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.

Mixel Series 7: MCPD Review for MF0

So I got a notice in the mail about Series 7 going live and ordered them. I have started to see them showing up in stores too. This isn't going to be a Mixel Week like last time as I am going on vacation but the following reviews after this will be the other Series 7 tribes. Shall we get started? Who are we starting with?

Kuffs


The Bag - Kuffs
Can you build some sort of creation right away?

Yes, I got a frame out of this set but I think it is the weakest out of the three I built. +5 points.

The Frame

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

$4.99 / 63 = $0.08 per part, below the ratio 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?

Several useful parts for +5 points.

Parts 2 - anyone want a frying pan? I here it is a melee system...
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?

Hmm, this is a bit of a tough one for this set but let's go with yes for +5 points. Like to see someone use handcuffs in an interesting way.

The Set - Kuffs
Total: A+ set but a weaker A+? It be interesting to see what MoF0s will do with the frying pans. I really like Kuffs arm, the big one.


Who is next in this line of Mixel Law Enforcement?

Busto!


The Bag - wait...are they a living jail cell? - Busto
Can you build some sort of creation right away? 

I got a frame, one that I am a little more happier with then the other one. I love the hip weapon attachment system, +5 points.

Frame Front - Crowbars, when you got to open a cockpit...
Frame Back - Feature: Hips Hardpoint
Frame Comparison
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?

$4.99 / 69 = $0.07 per part! Is this a steal? +5 points.

Parts 1 - Jail Station?
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?

So if you want some Hi-Leg feet, just need some handle bars now. + 5 points.

Parts 2 - Corvid wants more crowbars...
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts? 

A more solid yes from this set I think for +5 points.

The Set - Let me out!
Total: A+ set again, seems the MCPD knows what there doing folks? Keeping the city safe it seems. Seriously though...I think I have fallen in love with the idea of crowbar melee systems.


The Last MCPD today is...

Tiketz


The Bag - Tiketz
Can you build some sort of creation right away?

Yes! Out of the entire MCDP tribe I think this one is the best. + 5 points

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

$4.99 / 62 = $0.08 cents per part for +5 points for under the ratio status.

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! +5 points.

Parts 2 - Who wants a cookie?
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?

Going with yes, though not sure how one could use the two Technic Ls. +5 points.

The Set - Tiketz

Total: A+ once again, Triple A+ Clan? Look at that smile. Anyways, have fun with these sets MoF0s. I am off to Disney World (yes, I am going to hit the Lego Store in Disney Springs).

Kickstarter Fleet (Free Colony) and Spaceship Gallery

So back during the Intercept Orbit kickstarter, which started out as Alpha Bandit, I was one of the lucky ones to get into a Fleet tier (which was actually a bit of luck.). A few days ago I finally got my fleet in the mail (I already got my book) from Soren; they are now built! Want to see. Thanks Soren!

Of course I bought some sets with Intercept Orbit in mind or realize some I already had would be good for it. Want to see how they look? Mind you, these haven't been modified for actually use yet; just put on bases for the game. I like to show you!
