When he says no pressure to subscribe while the pnumatic cylinder is moving (due to air pressure)😂🤣 at 1:01
:)
Yeah. I mentioned that last video, I think. Or maybe it was two videos ago...I can't remember.
@@hydroworld-soontobemigrate6160 cool
The moment when you realize you got that alien space station ss a kid but it is now long gone, disintegrated into its pieces and scattered across multiple boxes of Legos.
The airsystem was kinda wacky tho the aliens got stuck alot and the stiff tubes would twist the station around.
still, the alien station seems really fun!
“The airtank is perfect for storing air” 🤣
:)
Yeah
I prefer air stay rare.
=)
Well, I for one was thankful for this explanation since I assumed it was for storing tanks ;)
Got so lucky when I found the pneumatic education set for $30 new on eBay, snatched it up!
Wow awesome
I had to buy it to get a pressure tank, since Lego shut the spare part shop down years ago. The gauge is actually useless, unless you need to find a leak
@@mammutMK2yep i bought one years back when they where sold on lego education to bad the set is long gone
3:30 I got Excavator for my 9th birthday in 1986.
The pneumatics were a bit slow and weak (it even used rubber bands to help lift the arm) so a trick I uses was to move two of the valves in the forward position and one set to the back, this allowed you to move the excavator arm by hand without using the pneumatics.
No pressure, no pressure...
Number 4! the pressure gauge!
Yep :)
the 1x11 pneumatic cylinder is also featured in a new tow truck set aswell as can be bought seperately from the pick a brick webshop, together with a handfull of other pneumatic parts!
I haven't seen LEGO sell individual pneumatic parts since the early 90ties and only in their physical shop in LEGOLand in Denmark. So this is really huge!
Queen 1981: Under Pressure
Unbrickme 2021: No Pressure , No pressure
:)
Again, I just love it when my ideas spring to life.
I had the Arocs set for many years but wanted to use the pneumatics for other projects so I disassembled everything other than the cab. I still use them to this day. Has to be my favorite set of all time.
I feel like no brick should ever be 'rare'
LEGO needs some form of 'universal warehouse' stocked with the same amount of every type of brick so that this issue is resolved for pneumatic and hydraulic building fun
I remember really wanting that Life on Mars set, it was the coolest thing at the time!
Can you explain monochrome minifig. What is it and why it's so expensive.
which monochrome minifigure?
This is by far the earliest I've ever been to an Unbrickme video!
Nice! I appreciate your support
I think my first pneumatic set was the 8040 or 8044, I had a couple of those distribution blocks, for some reason 12 year old me decided to tear one open to see how it worked... which made it never work again :P
Inside it was just a simple rubber flap valve, with a domed recess, and a flat surface for the valve to seal against - you'd push or pull air into the central connection, the the other two connections were positive pressure, or negative pressure. (internally the flaps were fliped on the different sides) - so one side would run the external connection to the domed recess, the other side ran it to the flat surface.
Now that I've written this 30 years after the fact, at least the distribution blocks sacrifice was education to perhaps one more person... (still not worth it!!)
2:37 Just a side note, I believe all the alien figures are exclusive except Vega, who appeared in the Excavator Searcher set too. I’m not positive, but I do have a Vega figure and that’s the only set I have.
“This piece should remain rare”-why the hell would you think that, unless the piece sucks at its job?
Awesome video dude keep it up!
Thank you very much i greatly appreciate it
For number 3 another very similar piece was in the Mars mission base Lego set. I still have mine.
oh man, the life on mars set. My friends older brother had that, I was so jealous
I had the life on Mars set in peices when I was younger but it’s all been lost to the sands of time
"this piece is expensive therefore it shouldn't be rereleased" that is the exact opposite of a good take
i have the pneumatic pressure gauge. ive used it in all my builds. dod you know tht the lego air tank can hold up to the minimum of 30 psi?
(i can only go up to 30 psi before a pipe pops off somewhere.)
Yes, i love lego pneumatics, great video
But lego pneumatics are expensive sometimes 😔
They’re expensive but usually they’re absolutely worth it
@@Unbrickme yes but my parents dont want buy me one 😅
The hand air pump also appeared in a mars mission set... But I can't find any traces of Mars mission pretty much anywhere on the internet...
The "alien transport system" was used in the Mars Mission set to launch little foam rockets from a rotating turret :)
I made my own air tank out of a bottle. It is much cheaper and holds way more air ☺
Oh wow I should try that sometime
@@Unbrickme You can just put a small hole in the bottle cap and glue a pnumatic hose joiner in and there you have it☺
Last time I bought a used 8439 set. Now I own an airtank and also 3 more cylinders :D
Awesome
That set was my childhood :))
Nice video love these rarest videos👍
Thank you very much
The Rigel star is in constellation Orion. 2:39
Great picks! I'm surprised the clear pneumatic cylinder from the Mindstorms 3800 Ultimate Builders Set didn't get a shoutout
Thank you very much! Yeah I definitely should’ve included that one
Damn, didn't think I'd have two of the rarest pneumatic parts, since I bought that set several years ago!
I keep watching your most rare series and I have most of the parts on your lists. It’s making me want to make a video on all my rare parts just to flex.
Thank you very much! I hope you are able to complete your collection of rare LEGO Technic pieces!
I have that lego mars set. I remember it being pretty cool.
Lucky me, because I do own the Arocs 42043 set and also the Pneumatic Education set 9641 :) I remember, that the education set was really expensive, when I wished it for Christmas back then... My dad didn´t understand, why do I want so expensive set if it contains just few hoses and stuff :D
What is the set number for the Pneumatic Excavator? The only one listed anywhere uses wheels, not tracks. It also doesn't use the threaded axle. I have several of the threaded axles and nuts to go with them. I asked people at the LEGO factory in Billend,DE and nobody had ever heard of a threaded axle.
Nice video! Also, the 42128 American Tow Truck is rumoured to have a 1x11 pneumatic cylinder as well, so the Arocs might not be the only one (after the tow truck is released and we know for sure of course). :D
oh nice! But we will have to wait and see
@@Unbrickme Yeah, we will...I'm hoping the rumours are true. :D
@@jokecenter9138 they are
man i got the pneumatics set in 2019, i think it got discontinued at that time. I feel so lucky to have it now.
I want Lego to release a dedicated pneumatic solenoid element for control+.
I bought like 3 or 4 white air tanks years back for a few bucks^^
no pressure. no pressure
ANYWAY HERES PRESSURE
:)
I actually own two of the white air tanks.... any idea what they run for? I found a blue version for 40 bucks on ebay and if the white ones are rare im guessing they are worth alot more
I have that Mars set, it’s mixed with all my other Mars sets. Very fun to play with.
awesome! I wish I had one of those mars sets
@@Unbrickme I had the spaceship and lander set. It really was an underrated series.
I have the first lego set . Didnt know it was such high demand
Number 2 is funny i have it in 8851 :-) , interesting video
BROOOO I remember my brother having that alien set when I was like 5!!!! SOOO many good times!
That’s fantastic
people should be able to buy whatever pieces they want at a reasonable price
great video!! you should make a video on the hardest lego technic sets and best lego gearboxes of all time
Wonderful ideas! Thank you very much
@@Unbrickme i love your UA-cam channel as its about the ever great lego, and that you are like very few youtubers who take the time to read and comment to every comment
I never new #2 was rare. It is still in the LEGO crate at my parents.
I don't understand the reasoning behind the long cylinder you use. It should stay rate because it's why the arocs set is in demand. That set us so good it'll stay a classic even if lego flushes the market with those cylinders
When the lego education pneumatics set came out, I bought 4 copies of it just because I needed the pistons. I still have all of the original parts and now have no use for them. Should I just sell it on ebay?
...I have 6 white tanks. Got them at local Lego exchange for like $3 or so, ~10 years ago. Half a year ago, I got my first ever pneumatic set...
Hmm i have that alien set pump and maybe some tubes however I don't really remember having the whole set :D
I got 2 of the white tanks for my Air Tech Claw Rig that I´m planning to put in the place of the decorative fuel tanks, I´m not sure if the air tanks go well together with the compressor, but it will be interesting :>
r/beatmetoit i also got that set so they are not rare at all
The Pneumatic Pump Large (11L) with 1 x 3 Liftarm and the Pump Small (6L) V2 with Reinforced Cylinder are also rare ones, each only appeared in 1 set(42053 Volvo EW160E and 42080 Forest Machine).
thank you very much for letting me know
@@Unbrickme 45400?
The pump is in 42128 large
Oh hey, that arocs is standing on a shelf above my bed (alongside a whole bunch of other vehicles). One of the cooler technic sets in my opinion
awesome! yeah the arocs is great!
I got 3 of those pneumatic sets on amazon for 230€ in 2018
Do you know how does this "pneumatic distribution block" from 3:00 work? I guess it is some kind of one-way valve but can anyone tell what is precisely its geometry inside?
Two one way valves, negative from center gets put on one side and positive to other, like an entry and exit gate for air.
Feels good to have the 42043
Unfortunately my 1x11 cylinder got deformed so I have to help it with hand to extend and retract '~'
I have a 2 air tanks and one of those pressure gauges
Lol 12 weeks after number 1 was mentioned it came out in a tow truck set😂😂
Make a review on the Lego Land Rover please
If I get the set, I will definitely make a review about it
Oh my gosh thank you so much
I appreciate
life on mars set 7317 wasn't the only set to include the large pump and tubes. the later released mars mission set 7960 had the same system.
It had the same system, but it was in a different color
Now i wonder if you can make a massive lego boat powered entirely by pneumatics using tons of those air-tanks/ aitank clones
Actually, I believe that has already been done. It uses a motorized air compressor, but it still runs primarily on pneumatics. ua-cam.com/video/c3v75uafXf4/v-deo.html
0:25 In 42128, this piece will be also used for extension
Maybe
@@Unbrickme I saw the leak, it have to be like that
Yeah but the leak is low quality and it may be of another length.
@@Unbrickme You can find a box photo on my channel
Oh, really? Can't wait to see that!
The first piece came back in the new tow truck
I never knew the air tanks were so rare. I have like 10.
Do you have the white ones or the blue ones?
@@Unbrickme all white. The blue ones cost too much at the time.
0:12 bruh i have like 4 of those from a kit on amazon lol
The pod system with air pump were rereleased in set 7690 in modern times, under the Mars Mission theme. So those parts arent just one set exclusives
Actually, in the specific color of that piece in the video, it is exclusive to that one set
@@Unbrickme yes, totally right, the color scheme is totally different
Woah, I have a white tank! Haven’t built anything in a while, I should probably go put it to use
I recommend making a pneumatic robotic arm
The long thin cylinder has returned in 42128 Tow Truck set, enev twice, as this set has two of them!
Got it^^
I have the 8040 pneumatic set, but I didn't know how rare it was
nice!
I got an air tank at a LEGO store, it costed like 25 dollars lol
the first one is in the 42128 tow truck
This video was made well before the tow truck was released
I got an rare lego air piece its like an lever but u cant stop output
I have the 1by 11 on my mercedes Benz arocs but it keeps sticking and I have to keep moving it by hand a few times for it to work
Yeah the 1x11 usually does get stuck
The pump also came in Mars mission sets too😳
Not in that specific color which is featured in the video
I love your videos.
Thank you very much
Btw Rip my idea did not come :(
(Rarest Lego buildable engines)
Glad thing I resently picked up a pneumatics addon set on bricklink, I'm currently trying to develop a new type of competitive rc car using stock lego motors. I'm hoping I can use pneumatics to add some extra power.
My 1st attempt didn't go so well, I tried hooking up the pneumatics to the piston engine of set 42048 (go kart) to try to get the piston to move, but then I quickly discover the engine block has too much room to let air out. It just went 💨pfffffffffffff... 😅
Oh nice! What is one set you want to modify with the pneumatic motor?
huh, well it's lucky that i found a white air tank back when i had more space for building lego stuff
Awesome!
dang i have the first, fourth and fifth part, but the first cylinder is damaged so i cant use it, also got the air tank for free and the distribution block from my dad
you should make a review of 42066 if you have it
Watt ar the top 10 best power functions sets
Great idea for a video!
I have the air tank and the set with it
The first one is outdated because of the Lego 42128
u get it. No Pressure XD
An video idea, the best model cars of all time, like super cars
Wonderful idea! Thanks
I have the pneumatic 1 by 11 cylinder
bruh fml i lost the tank and gauge from the pneumatic education thingy
theres some tractor one that contains 2 white air tanks. i got one of them like a year ago, so they are not rare at all anymore
Nice
You can buy the white air tank on Amazon for 50€
I have the white tank and the pressure gauge
I have the air distributor!
No pressure!😂
can i buy it?
Where can I get pneumatic tank at?
bricklink
I have that technic digger 🙂
I have the education pneumatic addon.
nice!
I wonder if the new LEGO Mindstorms set will include Pneumatics
Probably not
I have 2 white airtanks and that pressure gauge
Awesome
I have the Air Pump but Not the complete set
