Build.  Two Scorp-Beetle 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+).  There's a ton of neat stuff in this one.  
All of this week's sets have interesting parts but don't include enough basic parts to form the core of a build.  I think if you took one of today's review and used it to accessorize two of last Friday's review, you'd have some pretty robust Frames.
