Review: 30556 Dots Mini Frame Polybag

This was found in Walmart in a midway display with other polybags and other impulse Christmas toy selections.  Thanks to Atavism for bringing it to my attention on the Discord server.  I'm not sure if there are any left due to the great Lego scouring of 2020.


Bag.  MSRP is $4.97, for a $0.06 Price per Piece.







Instructions.





Parts 1.  Plates, Inverted Slopes, Rocker Plates (Star
Wars Shields), Bricks, and Quarter Round Tiles.










Parts 2.  Studless Slopes, Clip Plates, Round Tiles, and Quarter Round Tiles.  





Build.  A bare-bones mech.  I may have
to explore this design a bit more.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Below.  (+5)  (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?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  Wow!  I never would have expected a score like this from a set like this.
