Front of package. Those batteries that are included must already be in the light brick, because I did not see a separate package for them. MSRP for this set is $4.99. Which puts the price-per-piece at $0.13.
Here's the back of package. As you can see there are other sets available at this size.
Instructions and stickers.
Parts 1. I see a Light Brick, which is probably going to sit around gathering dust because I never have any idea of what to do with them. I also see something that looks like one of the new Lego brackets. Those have been out for what, a year? There's also some of the textured Cheese Slopes that everyone likes.Parts 2. That Enterprise logo base is never going to see any use. And that Trans-Blue stand is going to be a pain too. Those funky 1x2/1x2 brackets are really fun though.
Here's a quick frame I built. I'm calling it the "zoomer".
The Questions:
Can you build a frame, or frames, right away? Yes. (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? At retail price, above. (-10) (The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
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)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts? No. (-5)
Score: -5 (B-). It's not a bad set. It just suffers from the same problem all Kre-O licensed sets do, horrible pricing.
