Adults can play too!
Yes, for a long time Lego was the preserve of children or nostalgic parents, but now there's a world of bricks that adults can enjoy playing with: nanoblock. These little miniature bricks require patience and concentration, two qualities that are in total decline in humans, not least because of screens. Hence the incredible craze! For those who just want to free their mind to focus on a simple and enjoyable action, it's the ideal activity, in the same way as puzzles or knitting.
Lego VS Nanoblock
The LEGO group is a Danish company founded in 1936 by Ole Kirk Christiansen, while Nanoblock arrived on the Japanese market via Kawada Co. Ltd. only in 2008. Nanoblock was inspired by the success of Lego to relaunch the building set, but on a smaller scale and in a different niche. While Lego offers an extensive range of bricks that take us straight back to the nostalgia of childhood, Nanoblock focuses its nanobuilders on its Japanese universe: Kawai, manga, video games, etc. The range nevertheless extends its products to a more universal range, with nanoblock monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, or the Food, Space, Sport and Christmas collections, for example.
These are great little gifts, for children aged 8 and over, as well as teenagers and adults.
Bricks and more bricks
Yes, but you won't be able to assemble a Lego and a nanoblock, even if the attachment system is the same. There is also a significant difference in size. A piece of nanoblock measures between 3 and 15 mm, whereas a Lego brick can measure up to 31.8 mm! Precision is not at all the same, which is why nanoblock is a little more difficult to build, and why once assembled it looks like a pixelated sculpture of which you will be very proud. Finally, the material used for the nanobricks is more flexible than Lego plastic, so they can be assembled despite their small size.
What I like best about Jecka's work is that the animals seem to be in motion. It's a change from static objects. For each animal, you can choose its position: stretching, showing off or even in a yoga position!
Their patented locking system means you can assemble these animal sculptures without the risk of them falling apart. So practical!
