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.

Round Clip Tile, 1x2x2/3 Bricks w/Studs on Side, and Grille Tiles.
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+). The clutch on the parts in this set is inconsistent. While it does have some interesting parts -- 1x3 Bricks w/Pinhole, Round Tile Clip, and the Bar Plate -- overall the quality and selection is disappointing. As these reviews are now done, I'm going to dump all of these sets into a container and stick them in the attic somewhere.
