| Instructions & Stickers. |
Parts. Pull Back Motor, Plates, Studless Slopes, Extra Large Cheese
Slopes, Corner Plates, Corner Tiles, Axle Plate, Notched Corner Tiles,
Jumpers, Large Cheese Slope, Cheese Grater, Quarter Circle Tiles, Cheese
Slopes, Round Plates, Wedge Studless Slopes, Brackets, and Stadium Tiles.
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+). I like it. Too bad one of those Extra Large Cheese Slopes has printing on it.

That printing on the bricks can be wiped away with a light and careful application of acetone. Doesn't always leave a perfect finish but it's more pleasing than a random stamp.
