Hiya everyone. I'll probally edit my last couple days worth of posts with a few photos of the topics I'm talking about to break up all the monotony...but my camera's being a bit of a glitch, so I'll have to figure out what's going on there.
Anyways, I built both of the Nano Building Sytem sets. I'll give a few comments now. The Packaging, I really like. They're self-contained containers for the packaging, that includes a stud-ruler(for measureing the studs on the brick.), a magnifier for the small pieces, and an unused/extra display brick to show the size of the brick. The clear portion has studs on the four corners to attach a setting picture to, while the bottom of the case is a four way intersection. (Inside comes with a few road pieces to connect other boxes to form a sort of playset.) It also has a latch and a 'lock' switch to keep the pieces from flying out. It's so so, considering the lock is somewhat weak.
The building of the sets themselves was somewhat straight forward, even if a few of the pieces didn't fit exactly. Which brings me to the last thing. A number of the clear pieces is already showing signs of stress from sitting on the studs. Not good. The appearances of the Sandstorm/"Humvee", are very close to what you'd expect in a military vehicle...but the antenna that is shown on the packaging, falls off with the most gentle of taps, so I left the antenna in the container...and the Interceptor looks like a police car. That's all I really gotta say on appearances. I'm unsure if it'd recommend it at regular price, but if on sale or buy one get one type of deal, I could probally give a thumbs up for that. All and all, they were worth the $1.14 I paid apiece.

Hey, thanks for posting a comment on my blog. Just got curious about this Nano thing... is this the same as Lego? I know a "humvee" though, I learned about it in a computer game called Red Alert. =)

Hiya, Nechie. ^_^
It's a made by a company that's a sort of competition to Lego, called Megabloks. Their plastic quality isn't as good as Lego's though.
