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.
Last Friday I discovered that there is a code punched into the bottom of each egg that identifies each one. I've added that code to each review title.
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 65 pieces for a PpP of $0.05.

| Instructions & Stickers |
Parts 1. Bricks, Slope, Wedge Plates, Corrugated
Brick, Studless Slopes, and Brackets.
Triple Curve Slopes, Stadium Cheese Slopes (Cheese Slopes with rounded
front edges), Round Tiles, Transparent Apollo Studs, and Apollo Studs.
Build. Since someone accused me of just building the set for the last
build, :-) , I went with an IO Frigate (2Ras+d8) this time around.
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+). My complaint about the last two sets still holds but it's a decent set.
