FAQs
What is the recommended age for this set?
Due to the small size of the bricks and potential choking hazards, it is recommended for builders aged 12 and up.
Does this set include a display base?
The set is designed to stand on its own feet in the Kubfu stance, though you can build it on a larger Nanoblock display base if you own one separately.
Are the bricks compatible with other block brands?
No, Nanoblock bricks are significantly smaller than standard-sized building blocks and are not compatible with brands like LEGO.
How long does it take to build?
On average, the build takes between 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the builder's experience with micro-blocks.
What tools do I need?
No tools are strictly required, but a pair of precision tweezers can make handling the smallest pieces much easier.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty snapping two small bricks together
Ensure the bricks are aligned perfectly. If they feel stuck, rotate them slightly or check for debris inside the connector holes.
Lost a tiny piece
Check the surrounding area with a flashlight at a low angle to catch the shadow of the brick. Always work on a clean, light-colored surface to make searching easier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, clear your workspace and ensure you have a pair of tweezers handy, as they are often helpful for placing the smallest pieces. The kit comes with a complete instruction manual; follow each step sequentially, as the structural integrity of the model depends on the precise placement of each brick. For care, keep the finished model out of reach of direct heat and moisture. Because the pieces are so small, dusting is best performed with a gentle, soft-bristled brush to avoid dislodging any sections. If you plan to move the model frequently, a small dab of plastic-safe adhesive can be applied to the base bricks, though this is not strictly necessary for display.
