Review: Block Tech US101-1829 Spooky Succulents Jack-O-Thorns

This is the final set from one of the two lines of building block kits being released for Halloween by Five Below.


Box.  MSRP is $6.00
, for a $0.06 Price per Piece.

Instructions.














Parts 1.  Plates, Octagonal Bar Plates, Bricks, Tiles, Curved Slopes w/Studs, Minifig
Jack O'Lanterns, Brick w/Studs on Side, Bricks w/Studs on Corners, and Grass Stems.






Parts 2.  Round Large Jumper, Round Plates, Tiles, Minifig Spiders, Minifig
Paint Palettes, Clip Plates, Round Plates w/5 Petal Flower Edge, Round
Plate w/4 Petal Flower Edge, Grass Stem w/Stud, and Skeleton Arms.


Build.  Two Frames (2W), a Station,
and a 1 Hit piece of Cover.

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+).  This set seems like a weird cross between Monday's and Wednesday's sets, and has the same amount of creations as both.
