My new #Lego-related addiction: #Nanoblocks! This is Kinkaku-ji, a temple in Kyoto

There is something so wonderfully zen about building with such small pieces. The only drawback is the price. This set measures 3.5 inches tall but cost $18. :/ But it was so much fun to build--and very calming. I can't wait to get more of these.



And check out the cool details--you can see inside the thing (sorry about the lighting, but you can see a bit of light sneaking in through the space between two nanoblocks in the back wall inside the temple:



Check out the real Kinkaku-ji on Wikipedia.

You can see the Nanoblocks panda I built last week, also.

While I'm on my way to the Times Square Toys R Us I thought I'd upload pics from last nights building. First up we have the Nanoblocks panda that I had a blast putting together. Ended up with a LOT of extra pieces though. Ikea-overdrive! I know Lego often includes a few extra pieces but this is a lot more than Lego usually includes. Next up we have the hockey player minifigure from wave 4 of the individually packaged minifigs. Looking at some of the others in wave 4 has made me reconsider my earlier-mentioned disinterest in wave 4. I particularly want the geisha-looking one (not sure if she's Japanese or Chinese.) Anyway there are some others in wave 4 I'd dig, too. Not that I want to go all the way out to the TRU in the lower Bronx to get them though. It's kind of a PitA getting out there. Ok, almost to Times Square. Must wrap this up. Wish me luck today!
