Lovely idea.
The tolerances Lego is made to are already pretty unbelievable so the finer tolerances mini-Lego would need might present some manufacturing challenges, but nothing impossible.
In the same way Duplo is compatible with Lego, mini-Lego should be compatible with Lego - for example by making the height of a mini-Lego block the same as a Lego plate (i.e. 1/3 the height of a Lego block). |

"In the same way Duplo is compatible

Exactly. I was going to go for half-scale. |

If this proves to be a problem,
miniature Lego
would have to go for something like a
magnetic fixing with the pins at the top
acting as locators, or some machined
metal latch system. It would be a pity to
lose the simplicity of the original,
though and needing 'interface pieces' to
connect Lego to miniature Lego (µgo ?)
would be a pain. |

Oh yes! If compatible, could be used to 'finish' standard Lego models. I'd like a line of Space µgo please. |

would this lead on to nano lego? |
|
| |
Croissant for the idea and for Tabs's renaming of it. |
|
| |
Does this not turn into clay eventually? |
|
| |
[phundug] No, subatomic particles. |
|
| |
Likely not as painful to step on. (+) for that aspect. |
|
| |
Atomic legos? Legos made out of a hundred atoms only? |
