Spoils from Japan - Asoblocks

Found during a recent trip to Tokyo, Asoblocks are kinda like legos, but instead of interlocking blocks, Asoblocks use a unique combination of pieces that focus on ball and socket joints, press-together joints (i.e. legos), and clamps. This gallery is some pics of my first run...
