Review: Block Tech US72-1537 Gizmo Blocks Bun Steamer

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 $0.03 Price per Piece.

Instructions.











Parts.  Plates, Wedge Plates, Tile, Large Jumper, Large Round
Jumper, Translucent Plates, Curved Bricks w/Cutout, Double Sided
Plate, Bracket, Translucent Corner Bricks w/Cutout, Round Plate,
Translucent Corner Curved Bricks w/Cutout, and Round Tile.





Build. Station. 


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'm not sure this Pink matches Lego Pink.  So overall I like this line for the colors as it doesn't have much in the kinds of parts we're looking for.  That being said, the price point is excellent.
