Review: Zuru Max Mystery Build 7 (DG20210621E)

I found these at Ocean State Job Lot two months ago while I was out shopping for junk food for a recent game.  The display box I found them in lists eight different builds so I rooted through what was there and found what looked to be seven different packages.

Two Fridays ago I discovered that there is a code punched into the bottom of each egg that identifies each one.  I've added that code to each review title.


Egg.  I paid $2.99 for this.  MSRP is ????, for a $0.08 Price per Piece based on the parts count on the label.  Actual parts count is 66 pieces for a PpP of $0.05.
 
Instructions & Stickers.








Parts 1.  Bricks, Inverted Slopes, 2x3 Bricks w/Curved
End, Studless Slopes, and Wedge Plates.








Parts 2.  Wedge Bricks, Brick, Round Bricks, Brick
w/Studs on Side & Door Guide, and Brackets.

 



Parts 3.  Clip Plates, Bar Plates, Round Bricks, Transparent
Cones, Transparent Apollo Studs, Apollo Studs, Round Tiles,
Triple Curve Slopes, Antenna, and Levers & Bases.
Build.  An IO Close Escort Frigate (2Rpd+d8/1B).

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+).  This just feels like a duplicate of the last set even though it has more parts.
