Help..... Missing Brick !!!!

Hi all,

I just started on nanoblocks and was building my 5th (Sheep) and when I was about to finish, the last pc (a 2 X 8) was missing. I have double checked that I did everything correctly.

It is not cool when this sort of incident happened... quite a spoiler ... haha!

Please kindly advise who can help me... : (

Thanks in advance.

Could it be two 2x4 instead of one? For beginners, reading the instructions can be tricky because it is hard to decipher which block is used for a layer since the blocks are put together.

Thank you all for the replies and advice.

Yes for sure there are a lot of small parts extras... and I have dismantle and rebuild again... so I should be wrong again... I hope.

I am making the Sheep (a little beige in colour):
Nanoblock Sheep Building toys Nanoblock : Enjoy Huge discount Savings of 10-70% Off! & Reviews

Just missing the long 2 X 8.

Thank you for the offer in advance, but I would not want to trouble you for the first solution.

Any advice on who is the Singapore distributor for nanoblocks?

I tried contacting the below and they have yet to reply....

beige i dun have also.

:(

Thanks again for the help...

The problem here is I bought a set with insufficient blocks in the first place and I am trying to rectify this problem.

Yet so frustrating to find any sort of contact.

I guess I will need to sort it out with metro first where I bought the set.

Cheers.

Ignore the nanoblock singapore page. it's rubbish. honestly, only few nanoblock FB pages worth visiting. The main one, Chris Nanoblock, Nanoblock Australia and Nanoblock Fanpage.

Go back to the metro and ask for a change. This has happened to me before when I bought a set from TBS. TBS was able to give me just that 1 missing piece. (1x4 piece)

My suggestion is, if the part can be "hidden" inside the sheep, use a different colour, won't make a difference. (I have yet to do up my sheep...so don't know)

I will go back and check my parts to see if I have a spare 2x8 beige one. I can do a trade with/give to you.

Edit: Check your PM.

Thank you & all for the advice and offer. Great help from this forum! :)

Called Metro up and they are more than happy to replace 1 to 1, great service from the lady from Metro City Sq as well.

Also learnt from her that the local distributor is called Lancashire. (Good to know that in case you lose some parts and hope they can help.)

Am looking Tintin Nanoblocks too! Cheers.

Awesome! At least we know what we can do now :)

Yep. Already know about Lancashire. Spoke. With them before too in 2011's STGCC. They are quite backward and slow in their imports.

Tintin nanoblocks id suggest either wait for playmoya when on sale or amiami. Or if you are comfortable, use freight forwarding services and buy from amazon.jp/rakuten.

By far amazon.jp always has the best prices for new products. But tintin has been around for abit now.

Actually our SG market is too small, else if by normal they would have their contracts terminated.

If probably Shengtai or whom ever that is pretty strong takes over things will be better. IMO

Actually Simon has talked with Kawada in Japan and they are aware about the growing popularity of nanoblocks in SG. But then the market is still too small for them to do anything.

It's also to my knowledge Lancashire also shares supplies for Malaysia too. Maybe not directly. But that means they can take full advantage of EOS
