Box. MSRP is $9.99 for a Price per Piece of $0.26. Ugh.
Instructions.
Minion-fig? :-) This one comes pre-assembled.
Parts 1. That 1x2 Tile w/Vertical Bar is interesting, as is the 1x1 Trans-Clear Round Tile, the tiny Bar Clip, the 1x1 "Apollo" Round Plates, the "Short Bar", and the Bar Connector (Black piece, center top).
Parts 2. I really like the Roundels with the Union Jack printed on them.
Parts 3. That 1x3 "Jumper" plate is really interesting. As is the "seat" for the scooter that has a two studs and a Horizontal Clip on it. The piece that hold the front wheel of the scooter might make for an interesting foot for mecha.
Build. I tried to make something but all I came up with was three crummy Stations. I might have been able to make a better missile launcher Station if I spent more time working on it.
The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away? Yes, sort of. (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? 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-). There's nothing to recommend this set. I only bought it for the Union Jack pieces.
