Review: Make-It Blocks 344183-1 Building Block Bot Orange Polybag

I found these recently while shopping at Dollar Tree.  They're apparently so new they don't have a page on the website.  I feel like they're going for some sort of a Mixel / Technic crossbreed with these.  I've only found four different sets in this release so far.


Bag.  MSRP is $1.25 for a $0.04 Price per Piece.

Instructions.












Parts.  Plates, Round Plates, Turntable Base, Dish, Translucent Axle
Ball Joints, Axle Ball Joints, Bricks, Bricks w/Pinholes, 1x2x2 Brick,
Headlight Bricks, Thin Liftarm w/Modified Connector, Axle, Round
Tiles, Printed Round Tiles, Connector w/Pinhole, and Friction Pins.


Build.  The Candy Corn Monster.
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-).  I'm not feeling this one but, those Translucent Axle Ball Joints are going to be interesting.
