The LaQ construction system features colorful pieces that snap together to create flat, three-dimensional and spherical objects, as well as designs that have the ability to move.  The Petite Collection contains 27 to 28 pieces for first-time LaQ builders. An additional five animals — Bunny, Chimpanzee, Duck, Koala and Lion — will be available. “What makes LaQ a special toy is the possibility to create a sphere with the unique shape and the clever angles of the block pieces, opening a whole new possibility for block toys,” Mo Saeki of Yoshiritsu Co. told TDmonthly. Launch date: May 1, 2008.
