LEGO Speed Champions Audi R8 LMS ultra 75873 Review for IOrbit

The Box
Getting through all these Speed Champions sets from TRU/LEGO stores.

Ship Front - Fast Armored Heavy Gun Frigate?
Ship Back
Can you build some sort of creation right away?

I got another variant of my Frigate that all these sets can make but I also built a frame as well for +5 points!

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

$14.99 / 175 pieces = $0.09 per piece for under the ratio for +5 points.



Ship Comparison
Frame Comparison

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 it does people! +5 points

Parts 1 
Parts 2
Parts 3
Parts 4
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?

We are going with a power yes given we got a frame and a shape for +5 points!


The Set Front 
The Set Back
Total: We have yourself another A+ set that I thought was fun to play with!

LEGO Star Wars Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle 30279 for IOrbit

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!
