I picked this up on Clearance recently from Walmart. I've always liked the colors in the set and I've been interested in that Minidoll Dress/Diamond piece ever since I first saw it. So I figured, what the hell let's take a look at the set.
Box. MSRP is $9.99, for a $0.19 Price per Piece.
I paid $7.00 for a $0.13 Price per Piece.
Parts 2. Bricks, Translucent Snowflake, Translucent Octagonal Rock Bottom, Slopes,
Build. Frame and Station.
The Questions:

Door Frame 1x6x7 Rounded Pillars w/Top Arch & Notches, and Wedge Plate.
Parts 2. Bricks, Translucent Snowflake, Translucent Octagonal Rock Bottom, Slopes,
Translucent Dish, Plates, Large Jumper, Jumpers, Bricks w/ Clip, Brick w/Studs on

Translucent Jewels, Translucent Pyramids, Translucent Bar, Translucent 5 Point Crystal,
Translucent Minifig Head, 1.5x1.5x0.6 Dome Top, and Printed Technic Ball Joint.
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 has some useful parts and I love the colors but that price really kills any utility this set might have had.
