These sets are similar to the "Gizmo Blocks" line from earlier this year but Christmas themed. These are all small impulse buy sets that can be found at 5 Below. They can be found either in the Toy section with the rest of the building block sets, or on a rack by the entrance, or in the aisle to the checkout with other sub $5 items. There doesn't seem to be a page on the website and, my receipt lists them as "Micro Blocks".
Box. MSRP is $1.00, for a $0.02 Price per Piece.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away? Cover. (0)
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? No. (-5)
Score: +5 (A). Yeah, I'm not too thrilled with this set either.
