Review: Block Tech US101-2003 Bouquet Crystal Rose

This is the sixth edition of Block Bouquet sets.  They're changing it up a bit with this release and using translucent parts for some of the sets.  Which makes some of them really interesting.


Box.  MSRP is $4.00
, {wrong link} for a $0.07 Price per Piece.

Instructions.



The instruction booklet is actually
larger than the box.









Parts 1.  Hexagonal Windshields w/Bar, Translucent Octagonal Bar
Plates, Translucent Flower Petals w/Clip, Octagonal Bar Plate, Translucent 
Pneuma- Ts, Translucent Round Plate, Translucent Gears, Axle Connectors,
Axle w/ Pinhole, Axle Connector w/Pinhole, Translucent Tooth Plates,
Translucent Bar w/Stop, Axles, Half Pins, Translucent Half Pins, Bar
Clips, Translucent Bushing, Translucent Travis Brick, and Clip Claws.

Build.  Frame (2W) and two Stations.

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+).  While I really like this set for the colors and parts, I feel like it needed at least one Pin/Axle piece to be just that much better.
