This deluxe model offers a deeply rewarding building experience with its 560 micro-scale blocks, resulting in a display-worthy centerpiece that is 2.5 times larger than standard Nanoblock kits.

Troubleshooting
Difficulty snapping tiny blocks together
Ensure the blocks are perfectly aligned; due to their small size, even a slight angle can prevent them from seating properly.
Missing a specific small block
Carefully inspect your workspace floor and under furniture, as the 4mm blocks are easily knocked over and difficult to spot.
The model feels unstable during the build
Apply gentle pressure to the base layers periodically to ensure each level is fully seated and level before moving upward.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Successful assembly of the NBPM36 requires a clean, well-lit flat workspace to ensure no tiny pieces are misplaced. Because the blocks are so small, using a pair of precision tweezers is highly recommended for placing pieces in tight spots. No adhesive is needed for construction as the bricks are designed to snap together securely. For maintenance, keep the completed model away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading over time. To clean the sculpture, use a small soft brush or a canister of compressed air to gently remove dust from the intricate nooks and crannies of the Pikachu design without dislodging the blocks.
