LEGO Star wars U-Wing Fighter 30496 Set Review for MF0

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
