Review: Block Tech US24-2231 Block Bouquet Marigold

After this line sold out the last time 5 Below brought them back recently in different packaging.  I watched them sell out online in a matter of hours but I managed to find some in a local brick and mortar.  So let's jump back in again and hopefully you can find some too.


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

Instructions.












Parts 1.  Octagonal Bar Plates, Plates, Curved Arches w/Cutout,
Curved Bricks w/Cutout, Round Plates, Round Jumper, Tiles, Ball
Joint Plates, Travis Brick, Technic Angled Axle Connector, Technic
Axle Connectors, Technic Axle/Pin Connectors, and Technic Axles.








Parts 2.  Clip Plates (Wow, those clips are thin.), Wedge Studless Slopes,
Inverted Curved Slopes, Studless Slopes, Technic Bushings, Ball Joint
Pins, Technic Axle, Technic Gear, Round Plate, and Flower Round Plate.





Build.  Two 2 Hit pieces of Cover, Station, and Frame.

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+).  I'm conflicted about this set.  There's tons of useful parts but trying to actually build a Frame is challenging.  Although that Red Octagonal Bar Plate would be super useful in a different build.
