To me, the greatest joy of LEGO sets is seeing brilliant engineering up close. There's brilliant engineering inside an iPhone, but I can't see it. It's all locked inside a boring looking little 1cmx1cm gray chip.

When you assemble something like a working pneumatic articulated motorized digger, 99% made out of the same basic 200 interchangeable parts, it's incredible.



It really becomes apparent when you attempt to build your own creation to the same standards of some of the sets geared to older builders.
