Review: Block Tech US101-1181 Succulents Echeveria Blue Curls

This is the second release of Block Tech Succulents.  It's three times the size of the first wave with twelve sets this time around.  The price is also marked on the box for this release.  And as there are three Echeveria variants it seems like the perfect bunch to start reviewing.


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

Instructions.














Parts.  Flower Sprues, Quarter Circle Plates, Octagonal Bar Plate,
Macaroni Bricks, Round Plates, Brick Bricks, Clip Plates,
Tooth Plates, Plant Stems, Travis Brick, Round Brick, and Bricks.





Build.  Frame (2W), Station, and 1 Hit piece of Cover.

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+).  A decent set but I feel like it's more of a Station/terrain making set than a Frame making set.
