Review: Block Tech US24-2235 Block Bouquet Safflower

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.  Axles, Plates, Slopes, Octagonal Bar Plates, Pin Connector
Triple Ball Joint, Ball Joint Plates, Tiles, 2x2 Studless Slopes,
Clip Plates, Round Brick, Horn/Tail Sections, and 1x4 Studless Slopes.









Parts 2.  Axles, Axle/Pin, Pin/Axle, Axle Connectors, Pin Connector,
Clip Plates, Padlocks, Inverted Tiles, Plate, Clip Bar Holders,
Wedge Studless Slopes, Bases, Levers, Round Plates, and a Gear.

Build.  Two Frames and a Station.

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+).  Another excellent set, not quite as good as the Chrysanthemum set though.
