I had a pneumatic lego excavator when I was a kid. Though, I always over pressurized the system and blew the lines off the rams all the time.


Its still sitting around in my basement somewhere.
I had that kit, I switched it to run water in the cylinders. I think I ended up attaching it to my light switch with 20ft of fish-tank airhose so I could turn on/off the lights from bed. Didn't have wireless remotes back in those days...

Aren't Legos made in like Europe or something? From looking at the other videos, they are speaking German or Dutch I think, not too sure. Perhaps those Legos are special kits only made out there or something.

Did your room look like Pee Wee Herman's kitchen at breakfast?

Most likely hidden in the front yard under a car on blocks sitting in three feet of grass. :d:

j/k, but I couldn't resist!
