I was walking through JC Penney the other night when I found this. After a quick check of the price tag I saw it was on Clearance, so I bought it.

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 (B+). It's not a bad set at the Clearance price -- it'd have a +20 (A+) score -- but it has some weird parts quantities.
