I found these recently in 5 Below. They aren't on the website. Yet? These are made by Hasbro, who used to make Kre-O. So maybe this is them dipping their toe back into the building block market again. There are more sets featured on the back of the box some of which seem to be medium sized and one that looks pretty large.
Box. MSRP is $3.25 for a $0.07 Price per Piece.

I think this may just be a bit too fiddly.

Parts 2. Plates, Rubber Tracks, Tiles, Axle Plates, Rims, Bricks 1x2x2/3

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+). There's flashing on some of the parts and the feel of them reminds me of Forever Clever sets. The fit between the Axle Plates and the Rims ranged from loose to too tight. I'm hoping the other two sets are better.
