Review: Block Tech 24-2362 Flamingo Animal Blocks

I found these at 5 Below recently.  I'd seen them online but I didn't realize how compact the boxes actually are.  These sets can be found either in the Toy section with the rest of the building block sets, or on a rack by the entrance, or in the aisle to the checkout with other sub $5 items.


Box.  MSRP is
 $1.00, for a $0.03 Price per Piece.

Instructions.








Parts.  Quarter Circle Plates, Plates, Jumpers, Bars w/Stop, Studless
Slopes, Double Slopes, Wedge Studless Slopes, Slope, Inverted Slope,
Large Cheese Slopes, Bricks w/Studs on Side, Bricks w/Stud on Side
(These are interesting in that the TOP stud is hollow rather then the side
one.), Printed Round Tiles, Quarter Circle Tiles, Barb, and Clip Tile.


Build.  IO Frigate (2Rs+d8/1B). 

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-).  All those Pink parts are compatible with the Bunny set, as it is this is a decent enough set.
