After finding last Monday's review, I "raided" a few more Marshalls stores to see what else was available. I found this set at the third store. It's different from this year's and last year's, which makes me wonder if RMS is making different sets for different distribution channels. Again, according to the date of manufacture on the bottom of the box, this was made earlier this year. There's also no individual set number. Let's give it a review.
Box. MSRP is $4.99, for a $0.04 Price per Piece.
Parts 2. Quarter Circle Studless Slopes, Double Curved Wedges
(Right), Double Curved Wedges (Left), Tiles, Large Cheese
Slopes w/Studs, Axle, Curved Slopes w/Wing End, Axle/
Pin Connectors, Travis Brick, Round Plates, and Clip Claws.
Rounded Clip Plates, Ball Joint Pins, Axle Connectors, Bushings, Brackets, Axle, Half Pins, Tooth Plates, Studless Slopes, Wedge Studless Slopes, Inverted Studless Slopes, Gear, Horn, and Round Large Jumper.
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)

Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts? Yes. (+5)
Score: +20 (A+). It's a good starter kit but, like last Monday's review, I'm not sure how available these sets will be.
