Tokyo Tower looks like a popular set of nano blocks

nanoblocks are like lego only smaller. They are made in Japan by Kawada Co. and provide a way to build blocks without taking up too much room.

Do you make things out of Lego? Would you think of trying some nano blocks for a change?

    Have been playing Lego when I was a wee lad . Maybe I should buy one to me company on my lonely desk . That Himeji Castle looks good if its as small as you say it is .

    Spent many a happy hour playing with Lego as a child and still have a soft spot for all things Lego related. I like the spin that Kawada Co. have done on them. Just wish these models were bigger and so more detailed.

    Wow! This looks so cool! Makes a good accessory as well I used to play Lego a lot when I was a kid.. always building things that I don't even know what is it

    Seeing these nano block buildings reminds me of the pop-up Lego Kinkaku-ji: http://tinyurl.com/yf87kqb

    The Tokyo Tower set costs just under 1,500 Yen in most department store toy's sections in Tokyo, but it might be found for less at places like Yodobashi Camera (Akihabara) and/or Toys-R-Us. They also have some cool gift jar sets for life events like birthdays (boy or girl with cake), baby (baby in a carriage), and Wedding (couple with chapel). Those go for 1,000 Yen. I was thinking about getting some for future gifts. With this global economy and all of the importing/exporting it is not easy to find gifts that are hard-to-find in US/Canada/Europe/Australia. I think nano-blocks might actually fit the bill and be a true available only in Japan item.

    By the way, I noticed that the Himeji Castle cost 8400 Yen at Takashimaya the other day.
