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.
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.
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.
