I found these at Ocean State Job Lot two months ago while I was out shopping for junk food for a recent game. The display box I found them in lists eight different builds so I rooted through what was there and found what looked to be seven different packages.
Egg. I paid $2.99 for this. MSRP is ????, for a $0.08 Price per Piece based on the parts count on the label. Actual parts count is 46 pieces for a PpP of $0.07.
Parts 1. Wedge Plates, Inverted Slopes, Bricks, Round
Bricks, 2x3 Brick w/Curved End, and Studless Slopes.
Parts 3. Axle Plate, Rim, Bar Plates, Tail, Double Clip
Plates, Apollo Studs, Triple Curve Slopes, and Cones.
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? No. (-5)
Score: +10 (A-). It works nicely for IO but I feel it needs more SNOT/Hinge pieces.
