Review: Block Tech US101-1168 Block Bouquet Black Lily

Just in time for Halloween we have this special "Block Bouquet" release.  My receipt lists them as "Goth Flowers".  These are a limited edition release and will probably have disappeared off shelves by the time this is published.  Sorry.  It took 'til the second week of October for there to be a page for them on the Five Below website.


Box.  MSRP is
 $3.25, for a $0.05 Price per Piece.

Instructions.














Parts 1.  4x4x11 Curved Tapered Panels w/Clip at Each End, 1x8
Hinge Plates w/Angled Side Extensions, Angled Axle Connector
w/Pinhole, Axles, Helicopter Blades, Round Plate, Steering
Wheel, Double Sided Round Plate, and Octagonal Bar Plate.






Parts 2.  Lamp Post Base (?), Round Plate w/Axle Hole, Round Plate
 w/Pinhole, Hinge Plates, Ball Joint Plates, Axle/Pin Connectors, Axle
 Connectors, Axles, Clip Tiles, Bushings, Ball Joint Pins, Apollo Stud,
 Double-Sided Round Plates, Grass Stems, Bar, and Bar Connector. 



Build.  Frame (2W).

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've always been a fan of Balloon Panels.  Also, this set is interesting because some of the parts are Charcoal/Flat Black colored rather than the Glossy Black that we're used to seeing in most building block sets.
