Review: Block Tech US72-1533 Gizmo Blocks Precision Mixer

Like the "Animal Blocks" line from last year these are small impulse buy sets that can be found at 5 Below.  They can be found either in the Toy section with the rest of the building block sets, or on a rack by the entrance, or in the aisle to the checkout with other sub $5 items.


Box.  MSRP is $1.00
, for a $0.04 Price per Piece.

Instructions.











Parts.  Plates, Double Sided Plates, Studless Slopes, Tiles, Round Tile
w/Pinhole, Bar Clip, Apollo Stud, Bricks, Slope, and Translucent Dome.



Build.  IO Frigate.

 
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?  No.  (-5)
Score: +10 (A-).  I like the colors but I feel like there's not enough here to be really outstanding.
