 | | Any musical instrument?
|
|
Has anyone made a musical instrument out of Lego? I've searched around and I haven't seen anything. I'm not sure what sort could be made. Lego isn't air-tight enough for a wind instrument, it damps out vibration, it has nothing bell-like, no obvious (...) (25 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

I may have missed a post on this, however I found two Technic (2001) sets at my TRU today. In addition to LoM and Movie sets. The numbers were 8240 Slammer Stunt Bike 14.99 8241 Battle Cars 9.99 The battle cars appear to be part of a new line that (...)

(...) Actually, being the huge Star Wars geek I am, I don't think R2 ever zaps Yoda... All he does is grab at the lamp with his arm.

I'm working a few of these ideas, but basically I was annoyed at how *SMALL* it was (the DDK) so I've started making a "life" sized R2 simmilar to Eric Harshburger's and the one at Legoland, but this won't be a static sculpture.
