After buying those I went back and bought more. I like them more and more as a I play with them. They're not perfect, but I think they're a great idea. The fact that they're made of junk means the pieces are very versatile and you get a lot of things to play with.
They're listed as "Series 1: Alley" so I hope we see another series soon, with new parts and some of the iffy aspects fixed.
