LEGO City Volcano Jackhammer 30350 Set Review for MF0

The Bag
Found this one at Target, I know they are still on their website.

Adapter - Wheeled Tank
Can you build some sort of creation right away? 

I got this simple but effective looking wheeled tank! I really like it and might have to order a few more bags! +5 points!

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

$3.99 / 53 = $0.08 per piece! Fantastic ratios in some of these bags lately. +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?

Yes for +5 points. I am a big fan of the harpoons and haven't seen them in a set in awhile.

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

Despite having a build I really like I am going to go with a no for this set giving us a - 5.

The set
Total: An A- set which isn't bad over all and I think I am going to make an army out of them?

LEGO Friends Bowling Alley 30399 Set Review for MF0

The Bag
I first found this at TRU but it is now at Target's stocking stuffer sections.

The Rack - Small Squad Transport Frame
Can you build some sort of creation right away?

I made the little frame above, not my most elegant work but it works! +5 points.

Parts 1

Parts 2
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part. 

$3.99 / 51 = $0.08 per part, not bad at all for a Friends polybag for once. +5 points

Parts 3

Parts 4
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?

This is a certain yes for +5 points!


The Set - And it is functional!
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?

This I think is a no but I did build a frame so my gut says to just give a score of 0 points!



Total: We have an A set for a Friends polybag, a rare thing bit still has the figure and not sure what one can do with that ball?

LEGO Creator Reindeer 30474 Review for MF0

The Bag
So this is one of two polybag's in Target's stocking stuffer wall but as usual they are going fast.

The Frame: R-Games
Can you build some sort of creation right away?

I got a pretty nice frame out of this over all. Felt like giving it a briefcase to hold. Perhaps a mobile station to claim? I think these could be pretty decent regular Hips and Shoulder options. +5 points.

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

$3.49 / 77 = 0.05 per piece! I think that is one of the best ratios I have seen outside of sales or offbrands! +5 points!

Parts 2 - Really need to remember to put a white paper down or something.
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! Absolutely! +5 points.

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

Just about this entire bag is useful one way or another! +5 points.

Haven't seen one of these in a bit.
Total: Well we have an A+ set here though the only drawback is there are some unpopular colors but I don't care!

LEGO City Rally Car 60113 Review for MF0

The Box
A set seen at every store of striking yellow and black. Let's check it out.

Stickers
Can you build some sort of creation right away? 

Not sure why I couldn't get a build at the time but looking at the parts I am sure I could have gotten at least a spaceship similar to the Speed Champion sets so I am going to give it a flat zero points.


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

$9.99 / 104 = $0.10 per part breaking right on the ratio for 0 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?

Going to say yes to this one for 5 points!


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

Given I don't actually have anything as proof to this I am going to go with No for -5 points for this set.

The Set - Sort of Artsy Pic
Total: This set is B rating so if you like yellow it might not be that bad to pick up. Have fun!!
