Review: Miniso 103280 Steel Acier Blue

I found these at my local Miniso store.  I haven't been able to track down any information about these sets online though.  This is a series of four sets that can combine and transform.

 $9.99, for a $0.05 Price per Piece.

Build.  Two Frames (2Rh/1B/1Gd8/1Y)
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+).  Two Frames and a Station with tons of leftover parts for $10 is a great deal.  The 1x4 Hinge Plates are a little fragile but the two different Ball Joint Plates make up for that.
