Review: Block Tech US101-1170 Poinsettia

Okay, I waited too long to review the Halloween release so I won't make that mistake again.  These are called "Holiday Flowers" on my receipt  There are four sets in the Christmas release with some interesting parts.  Let's get to it.


Box.  MSRP is $3.25
, for a $0.04 Price per Piece.

Instructions.












Parts 1.  Octagonal Bar Plate, Plates, Bricks w/Studs on Side,
Studless Slopes, Round Plates, Bar Plates, and Travis Brick.










Parts 2.  Round Large Jumper, Plates, Tiles, Studless Slopes, Lever
Bases, Clip Plates, Clip Tiles, and Wedge Studless Slopes.


Build.  Frame (2W) and 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+).  I tend to have strong feelings for anything with an Octagonal Bar Plate and Clips but this feels a little heavy on the Studless Slopes.
