Review: Block Tech US24-2333 Succulents Stonecrop

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 $0.04 Price per Piece.

Instructions.















Parts 1.  Flowers, Octagonal Bar Plate, Round Tile, Slopes, Double-Sided
Round Plate, Door Rail Plates, Wedge Plates, Round Large Jumper,
Eggshell Crowns, Plant Stem w/Stud and 3 Large Leaves, and Round Plate.






Parts 2.  Round Plate w/3 Leaves, Round Bricks, Apollo Studs, Round
Flower Plates, Inkwells, Double Cheese Slopes, Clip Bar Holders, Bar Bar
Holders, Clip Bars, Bars, and 0L Bar Connectors (These things are tiny!).




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+).  While I think my Frame design is fun, this might work better as a terrain pack.
