Lego | Nanoblocks Nanoblocks
Nanoblocks We know that you've all thought it. 'I like Lego but what if it was about a quarter of the size? That'd be ace!' Well, you'll be happy to know that your mind bullets (that's telekenesis, Kyle) went directly to Japan and now the Nanoblocks are here! The smallest 'block' is just 4x4mm (which means, don't build these on the carpet) and each set comes with step-by-step instructions, a base plate to stand your finished model on and a good few extra blocks just in case you lose any along the way. The blocks fit nicely together although, unlike Lego, they don't 'snap' together. This means that with a single block plugged into the underside of a triple length block you can slide and position it anywhere along that block. It makes sense when you see it, believe us, and it can be used for some nice effects. The Meerkats' legs and feet being turned on a diagonal is a good example. You might also notice that there is only one height of block so everything gets built up in a succession of layers. We love these mini models although they're probably more for the grown-up modeller than for little fingers. Each of the sets we have here are either skill levels 1, 2 or, in the case of the meerkats, 3 (they're the least simples!) so they shouldn't give you too much trouble. Our official Nanoblock tester - Cam (8) managed the guitar with no problems.Note: Due to small parts and the usual choking hazard, none of these figures are suitable for under 3 years old little ones.
