This is a new for 2026 Technic series. The builds being packaged in a blind box format like the Collectable Minifig Series is an interesting gambit. Just as a "heads up" the numbers next to the QR code do not match up to the contents of the box. I've already bought one duplicate so far.
Box. MSRP is $4.99, for a $0.11 Price per Piece.

Parts. Angled Liftarm, Liftarms w/Frame, Thin Liftarms,
Large Flat Gear, Perpendicular Pin/Axle Connectors,
Chain, Half Bushings, Round Tiles, Axles, Axle w/Stop,
Axle w/Stud, Friction Pin/Axles, Bushings, Technic Ball,
Axle w/Pin Connector, Small Flat Gear, and Bars w/Stop.
Build. Frame (2Rh+d8 {wrecking ball & piston} 1Gd8/2W).
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+). It has some useful pieces, the 2L Bar w/Stop is always good to have, but I just feel it needs "more". Again, the Blind Box thing doesn't help.
