Review: Brickcraft 72579BFS Bricktanicals Mistletoe

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 $0.07 Price per Piece.
I paid $4.97 at Walmart, for a $0.06 Price per Piece.

Instructions.













Parts.  Pearlescent Translucent XxY Leaves, Bag Tag Ring, Flower Sprues, Large Ball Joints, Metallic Wedge Plates, Metallic Plates, Metallic Tiles w/Studs on Edge, Translucent Plant Stems, Metallic Round Tile, Metallic Large Stadium tile, Metallic Quarter Circle Plates, Metallic Brick w/Pinhole, Metallic Macaroni Tiles, Metallic Double Inverted Slope w/Cutout, Metallic Plates w/Pinhole, Translucent Bar Bar Holders, Translucent Clip Bar Holders, Translucent Candlesticks, Translucent Round Plates w/Flower Petals, Translucent Clip Plates, Half Pins, Translucent Bars, and Translucent Palm Tree Top.





Build 1.  Frame (2W).





Build 2.  Frame (2W).  Cannot be
built at the same time as Build 1.

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+).  Very similar to last year's version but, with a few new parts and a metallic coating on others.  I really like it and I'll be buying at least one more.  
The score for the price I paid is +20 (A+).
