how did they get them to move automatically

[Sparky1701]

@bartsimpson67543 the train is run on tracks, the monorail runs on the monorail track.And everything else that moves is also motorized by motors and gears. Hope that helps

[Gigdoat]

that made me poop my pants, it s so awesome.

[Sparky1701]

@Gigdoat :) We have fun with it

[morethejamesx39]

Like gengar200 said, this is cool with thje mix of music and lego coz it makes you feel emotional and love lego. My dad used to have these sets and I never knew and oneday the box was taken out of the attic and I saw them for the first time in real life. I had to fix most though but a lot of the instructions are on the internet anyway

[Sparky1701]

@morethejamesx39 Thanks for your kind words! Yep--the directions are on the 'net. I hang around lugnet and bricklink for all my lego needs ;)

I find the classic sets lots of fun... the new sets are cool but I prefer the old--must be my age :)

[gengar200]

nice combination of music and the age of those bricks,i think it makes other people remember their childhood days and also makes me cry but i am only a child

[Sparky1701]

@gengar200 I had most of these sets since I was child

[budproductions117]

Brilliant!

[Sparky1701]

Thanks!

[MrJeezLouise]

Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for posting. I have just dug out all my classic space lego sets to play 5 year old boy ... been waiting since he was born - he loves it - keeps calling it star wars lego though :-)

[MrJeezLouise]

Sorry, missing a WITH above ...

[James007BondSniper2]

Thats awsome, superbly built, five stars!

[Sparky1701]

Thanks! Wait until you see the one next month!

[MrSunshine124]

Aerosmith? cool lego tho reminds me of childhood

[Sparky1701]

From Armageddon. And LEGO always takes me back to my youth... :)

[Robinguitarded]

cool!

[Sparky1701]

Thx!

[marksmartus2]

Wow, totally cool. I love the classic space sets and still have some. I am curious how you get the wheeled vehicles to move around by themselves. Is there another track underneath ground level with magnets?

[Sparky1701]

Yep--magnets on a track!

[jerome07sun]

[wolfgar2]

It would have been an honor to help put that together.

[Sparky1701]

SHow up ath the next show! We'll be there! :)

[BIA2457]

I love it! Classic Space and lots of it. I really enjoyed the video. Nice adaptation of the 6989. Cool hoist/crane. Would love to see this in person.

[Sparky1701]

We do shows 2-3 times a year. If you can't make it, we'll always get videos up for ya!

[FrogyKingdomDotCom]

omg why the hell did no one tell me about this before!!! 5***

[Sparky1701]

Thanks! We hope to have a bigger and better one this weekend! Vids to follow!

[909kiddz4u]

5th rating 5th comment yes and thats not urs there is people in the background

[Sparky1701]

I don't understand the comment--There are people in the background because we displayed this at the Toronto Toy, Train and Doll show last year

See those people sitting there? Those are my friends who attended the show and displayed their LEGO creations with me.

So if you wish to clarify your remarks, please do so.

As it is, Jeff and I set up this display and it is, quite emphatically, ours.

[hamsterdunce]

I'm damn near close to wetting my pants here. Lookit all the Galaxy Explorers! I love the custom stuff too. The crazy monorail transport ferreting around two Space Probes (from #6870) is particularly brilliant. Nice landing pads and massive crater too.  Makes me wish I still had my 500 boxed Space sets... sold them all in 2004!

[Sparky1701]

We'll have the layout at the show in April. More ddetails coming. Drop me a line

[ExitWedge]

[Sparky1701]

We're part of Ontario Brick Builders--a great bunch of people that get together and do a few shows a year!

e-mail me and we'll talk! :)

[fredlatesta1]
