Review: Block Tech US24-2234 Block Bouquet Chrysanthemum

I found these the other day after visiting a new 5Below that opened up near where I work.  I already like the Botanical line from Lego so I figured I'd give these a shot as well.


Box.  MSRP is
 $3.25, for a $0.03 Price per Piece.

Instructions.













Parts 1.  Technic Axles, Octagonal Bar Plates, Palm Leaves, Tail/Trunks w/
Bar End, Curved Plant Stems, Clip Claws, Round Plate, Technic Connectors,
Technic Angled Pin/Axle Connector, Ball Joint Plates, and a Travis Brick.









Parts 2.  Round Jumpers, Dish, Technic Gear, Clip Bar Holders, Technic
Axle Connectors, Axles, Half Bushing, Tooth Plates, Cone, Claws,
Exo-Force Arms, Pin Ball Joints, Bushings, and 1/2 Bar w/Stop.




Build.  Four Frames, a Station, and a 2 Hit piece of Cover.

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?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  All that for $3.25?!?  Sold!  The only downside is that the clutch on some of the Tail/Trunk pieces is substandard.
