A ton of new Make-It Blocks sets were just released so, hold on tight, we're diving right in. With this series we now have five(?) companies making Botanical building blocks kits. These are by far the least expensive of all the ones I've reviewed. Let's see how the stack up.
Box. MSRP is $1.25, for a $0.01 Price per Piece.

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+). That is a lot of Lime and Pink. Tons of useful parts too.
