Last year, Brickcraft released a series of Christmas Bricktanicals. They're doing it again this year but with some tweaks and upgrades. Let's take a week and review them.
Box. MSRP is $5.99, for a $0.11 Price per Piece. I paid $4.97 at Walmart, for a $0.09 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? Above. (-10) (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: +5 (A+). I think Monday's review is a better set but I like the Leaves in this set. The score for the price I paid is +20 (A+).
