Year of the Dragon (part five)

I was walking passed the toy shop in Azabu-Juban and spotted a several new nanoblocks sets. There were actually two different dragons, but I was only able to take a photo of this one.

More Nanoblocks - Tokyo Skytree

I'm not sure why my Nanoblocks post is the third most viewed post on my blog, but I'll post another to see what happens...

I spotted these nanoblocksof the Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリータウン) along the shopping street that leads up to Sensō-ji in Asakusa.  The Skytree is set to open in Spring  2012.

Here's one display with the Tokyo Tower and the Kaminari-mon (gate of Sensoji Temple).

Here's the real thing viewed through the clutter of telephone pole wire and cables in Asakusa.

Nanoblocks

These blocks were on display in a toy store window in Azabu Juban. Although expensive (¥1,554 for the Tokyo Tower), especially considering their small size, a lover of architecture may find them interesting. They are called Nanoblocks.

Seems that they are even more expensive online. The Nanoblock Tokyo Tower is available at Amazon.com for about $40.
