Review: Brix 64273-01 Bento Blox

I found this the other day at Five Below along with a few other sets.  There's at least one other version.  Let's give it a look.


Box.  MSRP is $6.00 for a $0.05 Price per Piece.


Inside of box without filler/shims.






Instructions.






Parts 1.  Cones, Round Bricks, Double Studless
Slopes, Round Plates, Tiles, Plates, Double
Sided Plates, and Rounded Plates.








Parts 2.  Bars w/Stop, Axle Connectors, Tiles, Brackets, Cheese
Slopes, Cones, Notched Axles, Ball Joint/Axles, Bars, Round
Tiles, Round Plates, and Flower Stems w/Stud & 3 Stems.



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+).  When I was taking pictures of the parts in this set I wasn't that impressed.  But when I sat down to try and build something I was happy with what resulted.  Also, the box might make a half decent carrying case.
