Review: 30682 Technic NASA Mars Rover Perseverance Polybag

I know we're barely into 2024 but I was somewhat surprised to find two new poybags at Barnes & Noble.


Bag.  MSRP is
 $4.99, for a $0.06 Price per Piece.

Instructions.







Parts.  Wheels, Round Bricks, "L" Liftarms, Split Axle/Pin Connectors, Offset Axle
Pin Connectors, Bricks w/Axle hole, Axle Connectors, Bars, Thin Liftarms, Axle/Pin
Connectors, Axles, Gear, Link, Axle Connectors, Pins, Axle/Pins, Long Axle/Pins,
Axle w/Stop, Friction Pins, Bar Clips, Small Thin Liftarms, Rounded Plate, Axle/Ball
Joint, Bars w/Stop, Axle/Pin Connectors, Triple Axle/Pin Connectors, Corner Axle/
Pin Connectors, Pin Connector w/Bar, Worm Gear, and Axle/Pin Connector.
Build.  Two Frames.
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+).  Plenty of useful parts at an excellent Price point.  Unless you're used to building with Technic this set may be a bit difficult for people to handle though.
