Review: Block Tech US101-1183 Succulents Echeveria Violet Queen

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.  Flowers on Sprue, Plate, Octagonal Bar Plates, Dome, Brick,
Studless Slopes, Corner Panels, Bricks w/Studs on Side, Bricks w/Studs
on Corners, Inverted Tiles, Round Plates, Round Large Jumpers, Bar,
Round Plate w/Petals, Clip Plates, and Textured Studless Slopes.




Build.  Two Frames (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 really like the Light Blue and Aqua parts but I don't think they are in any other Block Tech sets.  The Dark Grey parts look like the old Lego Dark Grey as well.
