Review: Miniso Toys Flowers HWMC1005 Bellflower

Miniso now has a second line of Botanical sets.  According to the pictures on the back of the box there are nine sets in this line.  I managed to purchase three of them so let's take a week and review them.


Box.  MSRP is $4.99
, for a $0.05 Price per Piece.

Instructions.











Parts 1.  Loose in box.  Ribbon.



Parts 2.  Studless Slopes, 2L Axles, Plates, Round Plates, Domes, Large
 Round Jumpers, Round Brick, Curved Slopes w/Wing, Axle Connectors,
 Bent Axle Connector w/Pinhole, Axle Connectors w/Pinhole, Bricks w/
 Studs on Corners, Round Bricks w/3 Leaves, Bar Clips, Padlocks, Bar
 Holders w/Bar, Round Plates w/Leaves, Apollo Studs, and Half Pins.





Build.  Two Proto-Frames (2W), and a 1 Hit piece of Cover.

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'm sure a better builder than me could coax something more out of this set.  I like the colors but this seems like more of a parts pack than a core set.
