What is Nanoblock

Nanoblock is the Revolutionary Micro-Sized Build Blocks!
Japan, with its history of miniaturizing everything from trees (bonsai) to poetry (the haiku), has taken its passion for detail, precision, and refinement and applied it to construction kits with Nanoblock.

 

The Pros and Cons of the Nanoblock

Nanoblock pieces are small, with the smallest measuring 4mm x 4mm.

The Nanoblock’s very tiny size means that far more detailed models with a much greater degree of accuracy can be built in a smaller space and at less expense. Because the smaller bricks allow more detail to be packed into a significantly smaller space the models will look more like their subject than Legos™ can.

But this amazing detail comes with a trade-off. Because they are such tiny pieces, Nanoblock’s edifices are not as structurally sound as Lego™ buildings can be and are prone to collapse with rough play. So plan on using these architectural masterpieces more as playful accessories to liven up a drab office desk or as amazing accents to your geography studies than as a toy for a swarm of little boys. Likewise, some of these micro-sized building blocks can be difficult to hold, put together, and take apart. An older child should do fine, but a younger one will just be frustrated. Also, for those who want to know, not only are Nanoblocks way too small to be compatible with other building sets, their undersides lack the typical tubes for connectivity.

 

Perfect gift for aspiring designers, architects, or collectors
Nanoblock is the perfect gift for any aspiring designer, architect, or collector and is recommended for ages eight and older, unless your child has exceptional fine-motor skills.

    Hi,
    My son lost his nanoblock instruction paper for his Netherland windmill… Was wondering if anyone can help me with that.
    Need a copy or image of the instruction so that he can carry with the fixing

    Thanks a million

    I ordered a box of NB-002 but felt disappointed as there’s no instruction manual to tell buyer how to build it up. Unlike the mini individual series, there’s a sheet detailed out the steps and procedures. I browsed most web sites in my last step and still can’t solve out this problem.
