This seems to be a continuation of the "Gizmo Blocks" line from last year but with a minor variance. 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.
Box. MSRP is $1.00, for a $0.03 Price per Piece.

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? No. (-5)

Score: +10 (A-). There are some really useful parts, and I like the color but, with less than forty pieces and some items as singles, you'll need a few of these for them to be really useful.
