Review: Block Tech 24-2363 Bee 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.  2x3 Plate w/Pinhole, Double Sided Plate, Plates, Tile, Dome,

Round Plates, Brackets, Double Slope, Padlocks, Clip Plates, Bar Plates,

Printed Round Tiles, Quarter Circle Tiles, Barb, Levers and Bases.

Build.  Watchtower frame (2B/2Y).

 

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-).  I'd say this is the second most interesting set, to me, of the six in the "Animal Blocks" line.  Padlocks, Levers & Bases, and Bar Plates are all very useful parts.  I'm curious if there will be another release of this line like they did with their "Block Bouquet" line.
