Review: Miniso Toys Mini City Flower Shop

I picked this up back in April after spending some time trying to figure out if it was Lego compatible or Nanoblock sized like a lot of other recent Miniso toy releases.  There are three other sets in this line -- I may review them at some point -- but I wanted the botanical parts from this one.

Build.  Three 1 Hit pieces of Cover.  

The Questions:

Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Cover.  (0)
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: +15 (A).  There are some nice colors and pieces -- that 2x2x2 Transparent Round Brick is intriguing -- but there's not a lot of useful parts for building Frames.
