Review: Block Tech US101-1336 Everlasting Rose Piercing Blue

Keeping up with Brickcraft, Block Tech also has some seasonal releases for Valentine's Day.  Then again, Block Tech has been at this longer than Brickcraft has.  Although, I haven't seen many of these in the 5 Below stores I've been to.  So either they under-produced them or they are selling really well.


Box.  MSRP is $5.00
, for a $0.05 Price per Piece. 

Instructions.














Parts 1.  Axle, Translucent Wedge Plates, Plate, Quarter Circle Plates,
Translucent Round Plates, Translucent Plate, Translucent Octagonal Bar
Plates, Translucent Inverted Tiles, Ball Joint Plate, Round Plates, Axle/
Pin Connector, Translucent Double Studless Slopes, Clip Claws,
Translucent Tiles, Translucent Brackets, and Translucent Travis Brick.







Parts 2.  Round Tile w/Pinhole, Translucent Round Large Jumpers, Translucent
 Plates, Translucent Wedge Plates, Translucent Quarter Circle Slopes, Translucent
Studless Slopes, Wedge Studless Slopes, Pin/Ball Joint, Translucent Large
Cheese Slopes w/Studs, Translucent Clip Plates, and Translucent Tooth Plates.


Build.  Two Frames (2W), and a 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+).  Translucent Octagonal Bar Plates are the big selling point to me.  All the Translucent Blue pieces should be good for color-tagging Defensive systems too.
