I just recently picked up one of the new Nano System sets (Rescue Cutter) and I
have to say these miniature blocks are rather cool. I especially like the
plates, they’re just so “dainty”. The 1x2 and 2x2 bricks with studs on the side
for SNOT work are a nice touch, too. I’m hoping Mega Bloks comes out with some
higher piece count sets like versions of the naval vessels they have in the
normal-sized bricks.
Also, there is hope for compatibility with normal bricks. It turns out that the
stud spacing on Nano bricks is exactly 2/3 that of normal bricks:
Note: For the following, plate and brick denote height and stud denotes
width.
Combined with the “2 Nano plates equals 1 Nano stud equals 1 Nano brick” rule
and the 5:5:6 relationship of normal bricks we get:
- 3 Nano plates equals 1 normal stud
- 3 Nano bricks equals 2 normal studs
- 6 Nano plates equals 5 normal plates
- 3 Nano bricks equals 5 normal plates
So, it’s conceivable that Mega Bloks could make adapter bricks that make
connecting one system to the other possible. That would be interesting!
Cheers,
Mark

| (...) At the very least using tiles one could brace an nano-scale construct in a standard-scale construct. That would allow for some really interesting detailed interal componets. I am far more interested in this line now that I know this. Thanks (...) (20 years ago, 22-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
