Waffle Blocks Robot
This, of course, not a 1800-piece Giant, but our youngest asced to build a big robot. Made from Gakken blocks.
Unlike Plus Plus waffle blocks, Gakken blocks have pieces of many different shapes. They have round and curved pieces, long beams and H-like pieces. The empty spaces inside the blocks also can have different sizes and shapes, so you can stack inside different pieces in different positions. All this allows even more building possibilities than the waffle blocks sets with similar pieces. However, some pieces have less connection opgtions, because they don’t have pegs on the sides, or have only one hole.
Gakken brand appeared in Tokyo back in 1946 when it became an important component of Japan’s post-war efforts to rebuild the nation. Back then, it became incredible important to properly raise a new generation that will be able to create a better future.
The founder and educator, Hideto Furuoka, created first Gakken blocks. He later told that his inspiration was traditional Japanese wooden houses. There he saw an idea of flat blocks people can took apart and rebuild again when they need to. So he decided to create a toy which repeats this principle. Children can connect these Japanese waffle building blocks, stack them, lay them, plug, or tuck blocks in different orientations, for example, horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.
SmartMax – Transparent Jars
This set consists of 6 round transparent containers with 2 screw caps. The “cans” themselves, as well as the lids, you may use in construction. There are 4 magnets on the lid, so ypou can attach balls to them, and then attach the rids.
In total, 6 variants of different colors were released. Each jar container has its own content – 8 balls, 8 short rods, 6 long rods, 8 curved rods, 6 glow-in-the-dark rods and a set of 8 magnetic flowers.

SmartMax Basic Stunt – 2 Slides
Large box – 22x14x2 in. Bright and colorful, perfect gift option. A completely useless box in terms of storing parts, it is only useful as cardboard for crafts. The composition of the parts is good, namely the basic one. The set has rods of 2 types, balls, panels !!!, 2 slides, wheels, bodies and cabins. Opened, built and rolled. The size is wonderful – for example, if the slides are launched from 2 sides, as in the picture, the length of the structure will exceed 27 in. SmartMax cars, which have good wheels and, therefore, excellent speed, will scatter in different directions far and quickly. All in all, an exciting experience .
