Review: Block Tech US101-1171 Cactus

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.  So let's get to it.


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

Instructions.











Parts 1.  Half Circle Plates w/Cutout, Plates, Blocks w/Studs
on side, Macaroni Connectors, Studless Slope, and Cone.











Parts 2.  Round Large Jumpers, Plates, Tiles w/Studs on Edge, Tiles,
Double Sided Round Plates, Jumper, Cheese Slopes, Bricks w/
Studs on Corners, Travis Bricks, Triple Slope, Brackets, and Ball.


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+).  There is a lot of Lime Green in here.
