Review: Block Tech US24-2330 Succulents Buckhorn Cholla

5 Below had a new release of Botanical sets but, instead of flowers it's succulents.  The box coloring and packaging is similar to the first release of Block Botanical.  This was the first release, there are way more sets in the second.  You may still be able to find the first release in a few stores.


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

Instructions.















Parts 1.  Plates, Plant Stem w/Stud and 3 Large Leaves,
Seagrass/Seaweed, Round Brick w/3 Leaves, Panels,
Inverted Slopes, and Inverted Corner Slopes.






Parts 2.  Corrugated Round Bricks (note notches at bottom), Eggshell
Crown, Tooth Tile, Corner Panels, Apollo Studs, Round Plates w/Flower
Petals, Lever Base, Round Plates, Grass Stems, Barb, and Horns.




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?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  The Corrugated Round Bricks are intriguing and there are some nice colors but I'm not really thrilled by this set.
