Yes Todays lego seems to have mostly unique parts, the cars we used top make were very different

Awesome.....I want one too!!!

He did get the firing order wrong though as he said.

1,5,3,6,2,4 would be correct.

A little different & I linked this to a post somewhere else so apologies for those who have seen it but if you like this amazing Lego motor, check out the awesome collection of mini motors. The engine at 2:48 is impressive.

Yeah it’s really cool the time and effort that’s gone into this, but is it as cool as losing your virginity, having a job and moving out of your parents place before 40?

Not sure you can have both

My kid also is a Lego nut. I do remedial works for the Lego Australia head office an they have some really cool stuff. I took home a Lego catalogue and my son started circling all the sets he wanted. It would have been so much easier had he just marked the few things he didnt want.....

There’s a series on Netflix called something like ‘the toys that made us’ which has an episode dedicated to LEGO. It’s quite interesting really, there are tens of thousands of different unique LEGO pieces that I’m not surprised a LEGO Barra could be built.
