Review: 30435 Build Your Own Hogwart's Castle Polybag

I found this recently in the Toy section on a sidekick while shopping at Target.


Bag.  MSRP is $4.99, for a $0.08 Price per Piece.

Instructions.











Minifig.






Parts. Wedge Plate, Plates, Arch Bricks, Technic Bricks w/2 Pinholes, Corrugated Bricks, Headlight Bricks, Corner Slopes, Round Brick w/Pinholes, Round Brick, Transparent Slope, 2x2x2 Cone, Corner Bricks, Round Bricks, Cones, Minifig Ice Cream Cones, Rounded Plates, Printed Tile, Clip Plates, Jumper, Minifig Wands, Unicorn Horns, Cheese Slopes, and Minifig Frog.
 

Build.  Station and two 1 Hit pieces of Cover.

 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+).  It has a decent selection of parts and colors but I feel it needs more.
