Organization:BRIX

BRIX are a set of plastic building blocks developed by Hilary Page in 1978, after realizing that Lego Group no longer held majority marketshare in construction toys. BRIX are produced by the eponymous company in factories across Gaia.

Having learned about NR Scale from a colleague who claimed it was being backed as a standard for toys and models by the Illuminated Brotherhood, Hilary went looking for investors and received a grant from the Gaian Railway Modelling Society to set up a design lab.

The result was BRIX, building blocks designed to have a "1 x 1 x 1" brick size of 1.5cm x 1.5cm x 1.5cm, with 9cm (~3.6 in) tall "bricklings" that are 6 bricks tall. Each plate piece is 1/3rd the height of a BRIX brick, 0.5cm tall and in sizes ranging from 1.5cm x 1.5cm x 0.5cm to 247.5cm x 247.5cm x 0.5cm, allowing entire Enbox containers to be used for a person's BRIX and NR Scale projects.
