Love at First Sight with Seria Blocks
The other day, I happened to stop by the 100-yen shop Seria.
I found something in the toy section that I liked so much that I was completely captivated by its magic and bought it all at once.
This is it.
It's the entire collection of small blocks. They are great on their own, but what's truly exciting is that if you collect all 12 types, they combine into one large item.
Plus, at about 100 yen each, the total for all 12 is 1,200 yen (including tax), which is very kind to the wallet. This is just divine.
What I'm introducing this time is the gun 🔫 block set.
The reason I bought this is because I am writing a novel featuring guns, and I've been influenced by a certain smartphone RPG where girls shoot at each other with guns.
Let me introduce the ones I've assembled right away!
(1) Automatic Pistol
(2) Sniper Rifle 1
(3) Rifle 1
(4) Submachine Gun 1
(5) Submachine Gun 2
(6) Shotgun
Although the parts are a bit small, I'm used to this kind of detailed manual work and I'm good at it, so it was fun to build.
Also, each one comes with stickers, but I didn't apply them because I have to take them apart later.
By the way, regarding (1): In the package image, the parts for the muzzle and the inside are black, but in the actual product, they were gray, so the colors were different. Also, there was one extra part included.
(7) Assault Rifle
(8) Revolver
(9) Sniper Rifle 2
(10) Submachine Gun 3
(11) Sniper Rifle 3
(12) Rifle 2
Even so, it's truly amazing that they can achieve this level of detail with such small parts.
And this is what it looks like when you line up the entire lineup.
It's quite spectacular when they are all lined up, and the satisfaction level is at its peak. It's truly wonderful that you can buy all of this at a 100-yen shop for just over a thousand yen.
And this is what you get when you collect them all!
The large block-built machine gun that also appears in the thumbnail. It's really big and has an incredible presence!
This is made using all the parts that make up the items above, with no leftovers. The person who designed this is a genius, right❗️❗️🤩
But I had some trouble while building this.
Since the parts are small, it was hard on my fingertips when taking them apart. Plus, when I forced the parts together, a flying piece injured my thumb.
I solved the problem of removing parts by buying two pairs of pliers. This way, I don't have to hurt my fingers♪
One more thing: there are instructions to insert a pointed part (the one included in (7)), but it wouldn't go in no matter what, so I filed it down with a sponge sanding block before inserting it. You might want to be careful about this part. (I forced it in, so the part is slightly cracked.)
In any case, I am very satisfied. This is the first time I've felt that a 100-yen shop toy was this amazing.
You can take them apart and assemble them as many times as you like, so I highly recommend them to people who are extremely bored. However, two pairs of pliers might be essential. I think you can buy those at a 100-yen shop too!
There are various other similar products sold, and I've already bought another set, so I'll introduce them later.
So, look forward to the next time!🦖
