There was some discussion on the MFZ Discord back in May, when these sets were announced, about the new "spinner" and sphere pieces that the Ninjago line was using in some of the new sets. I saw them on the shelf recently so I figured I'd give them a look.
Box. MSRP is $10.99, for a $0.19 Price per Piece.

Dishes, Boat Sliders, Transparent Plant Stems, Round Large Jumper,
Double Tile Clips w/Stud, Tiles, Plates, Travis Bricks, Inverted Studless
Slope, Slope w/Cutout, Flame Pieces, Tile Clips, Apollo Studs, Bar
Round Plates, Transparent Round Tiles, Transparent Apollo Studs,

Build. Swarmer Frame (2Rh+d8/1B/1Y(Systems in Gold)) and Station.
The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away? Yes. (+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? Yes. (+5)
Score: +5 (B+). I feel like that Minifig Stand has a lot of potential but the base price is a little discouraging.
