Review: Brickcraft 72097BFS Bricktanicals Holly

After being informed of the existence of Christmas Bricktanicals by Hysterical_Cub on the MFZ subReddit, I went out and bought them all.  So let's start a run of Brickcraft Bricktanicals reviews.


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

Instructions.











Parts 1.  Loose in Box.  Axle.





Parts 2.  Translucent Wedge Plates, Technic Balls, Palm Tree Top,
 Translucent Wedge Tiles, Translucent Bar Plates, Translucent
Ball Joint Plates, Translucent Wedge Studless Slopes, Half Pin,
3L Axle Connectors, 2L Axle Connector, Bar Bar Holders, Clip
Bar Holders, Bar w/Stop, Axle, Bar, Skeleton Arm, Flower
Sprues, Exo-Force Arms, Minifig Fez, Triple Ball Joint
Connector, Plant Stems w/Bar Holders, and Plant Stem.
 

Build.  Frame (2W).

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+).  I like all the Translucent Green parts but this definitely needs something more to be a really good set.  I wish this had Translucent Green Male Ball Joint Plates to match the Female ones.
