This is the sixth separate line of botanical sets from another completely different manufacturer. I found these in Target several months ago in the "impulse buy" section right by the front doors. There haven't been any since Summer arrived, that I have seen, but I'm willing to bet they're just in storage and will be on the shelves again come Fall.
Box. MSRP is $1.00, for a $0.03 Price per Piece.

| Instructions. |
Parts. Octagonal Bar Plate, Clip Plates, Wedge Studless Slopes, Studless
Slopes, Studless Slopes w/Cutout, Travis Brick, Plates, Bar Plates, Double
Sided Stud, Lever Base, Round Plate, Antenna, and Round Brick.
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+). This seems like a useful set, I may have to track down more. Actual Octagonal Bar Plates in Red from Lego are ridiculously expensive so it would be worth it for those alone.
