Review: Make Market 795513 Floral Brick Art Areca Palm

A few months ago Michael's started carrying Make Market Floral Brick Art sets.  They're basically copies of sets by Block Tech, Make -It Blocks, and other botanical set creators.  I was originally going to try and review as many of the 27-odd sets that I managed to track down.  But, as these sets have all gone on clearance at 60% off I'm going to do something different.  I'm going to review three sets -- each at different Price per Piece levels -- and put together a post mortem in the final post on why this line tanked when every other company is still going.


Box.  MSRP is $9.99 for a $0.17 Price per Piece.  



Back of box.







Instructions.












Parts 1.  9L Wings, 8x3 Palm Leaf, Studless Slopes, Axle Plates, 1x4 Offset 
Plates, 3x5 Leaves, Plate, Jumper, Notched Axles, 3L Axle Connectors,
Axle Connectors, Axle Connectors w/Pinhole, Axles, Axle/Pins, Bent Axle Connectors w/Pinhole, Bar Claws, Stadium Tiles, and Half Pins.

Build.  Frame and two 1 Hit pieces of Cover.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away? Yes. (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? Above. (-10) (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: +5 (B+). The Price per Piece is awful but, this is the only source of those 9L Wings in Green that I know of.  So I'm gonna grab as many of this set as I can.
