We were pretty into Legos and Bionicles. I think the parts used in Bionicles are the same as in Technic kits – that is, they are drawn from a common pool.

In my evil I used to challenge my son to build original designs using Bionicle parts. It’s not really trivial to do it. I don’t seem to have much talent at it. But my son did manage to come up with several that were fairly cool.

I did manage to come up with a Bionicle centaur of which I was excessively proud.

I learned a lot about gears from messing around with the pre-pneumatics Lego Technic.

Making me feel Old (born 78) …
I’m pretty sure the “legacy pneumatics” is one or two generations behind the two variants I used to play with in the early 90s.
Good stuff even if I never got to the creative building :).
