Nanoblock and its many knock-offs offer teeny brick-building for a fraction of the price
There’s an alternative world to Lego that few people have heard of. And no, we don’t mean Megablox or what-have-you, but instead a teeny-tiny alternative world: The miniscule world of Nanoblock, and its legions of knock-offs. Titchy blocks, a fraction of the size of Lego, but just as much fun to build, and one hell of a lot cheaper.I love Lego. By which I mean, I love the process of putting Lego builds together.
The other thing to know about Loz’s products, and indeed those of any number of others selling similar or identical items, is that they’re fine! They’re pretty good, in fact! Instructions are a factor worse than Nanoblock’s, which are in turn a factor worse than Lego’s, but that is very much the price you don’t pay for these.
There’s another reason to step into the dingier world of the off-off-brand bizarro-land that lies on the Chinese retail sites: Some of it isYup, it’s the classic “1450pcs Flying Whale Astronaut Building Blocks, Assemble Astronaut Ornaments, Gift, Christmas Gift, Children’s Toy, Gift For Girl Adult, Home Toys Decoration.
, with 4,000 pieces, for $40. Twice as many blocks to build, for a third of the price of the original Lego box.I long for a day when Nanoblocks are internationally widely available in all their glory, and I’d be happy to pay a premium for the superior build, and more than anything, the superior instructions. But this isn’t that day, and I cannot express how grateful I am for those knock-off-of-knock-offs that have given me comfort and calm during the last tumultuous decade.
I encourage you to venture into these peculiar shores, not least when picking up the more bizarre items that don’t even have official versions to begin with. Let alone that these are affordable for those who simply cannot justify spending the kinds of dollars Lego demands. Be prepared for crappy instructions, and the small chance of a missing piece amongst the tidal wave of extras, and there’s so much contentment to be found in this tiny little world.
