Review: Block Tech US72-1534 Gizmo Blocks Barbecue Grill

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 $0.02 Price per Piece.

Instructions.











Parts.  Plates, Tiles, Bar Plates, Panels, Brackets, Grille Tiles, Cheese Slopes, Bar Studs, Double Clip Connectors, Bar Connectors, and Bars w/Stop.










Build.  Frame (2W).  This came together pretty
easily and still has some leftover parts.

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-).  Not a lot of diversity in terms of parts but it's still a Frame-in-a-Box.
