A LEGO journey through childhood

Once again, builder Maxx Davidson has treated us to some delightful eye candy, skillfully incorporating not only LEGO bricks, but also other assorted elements that might require a deep dive into the internet to confirm their authenticity as “LEGO-branded.” Titled ‘Assorted Childhood Toys,’ the undiscerning eye would be hard-pressed to identify these as toys built out of other toys. However, the builder has expertly used LEGO to transport the beholder to a place of reminiscence.

    Some of the pieces gotta be 3d printed in the certain colors. Which is why I want one so bad!

    I’m guessing you mean the flexible bars. I can’t see layer lines, maybe they used electrical wiring or a knock-off Lego product
