This is a "blind box" set similar to the Garden series -- which is also from Zuru Max -- but it seems to only be this singular set. It may be part of a larger series as I've seen pictures of a "four in one" botanical set that contains this one. I think this makes the eighth or ninth different company entering into the Botanical Building Blocks race.
Box. MSRP is $10.99 at Miniso for a $0.04 Price per Piece.

The Questions:
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 just want to say, up front, I hate this packaging. It's not stable, takes up too much space, and isn't really reusable. As much as the Dino Adventure sets were a leap forward from prior Zuru Max sets, this is another jump forward again. I'm not sure if they found another source of bricks, bought another supplier, or just hired new designers but, I'm curious to see what the other "blind box" sets like this are like.
