Review: 40461 Tulips

I was originally more interested in the larger Botanical sets but after my girlfriend bought and assembled the smaller two I changed my mind about reviewing those sets.


Box.  MSRP is $9.99 for a $0.09 Price per Piece.


Instructions.








Parts 1.  Hero Factory Curved Wide Blades, Plant Stems, 1x2x1.6 Brick
w/Studs on Side & Ends, Curved Slopes 3x2x0.6 w/Wing End, 3L Axles,
Large Jumpers, Round Plates, Technic Connector w/Axle, Technic  
Axle Connectors, 2L Notched Axles, and Large Cheese Slopes.






Parts 2.  3L Axle Connectors, Large Cheese Slopes, and Round Plates. 





Build.  Frame, two Stations, and three 1 Hit pieces of Cover (bamboo stalks).

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+).  Turns out this is a pretty fantastic set.
