This is ideal for a terror dungeon, hands sprawling from the wall!
Revolutionary! Except that it was discovered by accident when pieces got wedged together back in the 1650s.
It looks like a climbing rope wall... What would you use this for?
There are rules? What bullshit is that? If they're Lego parts and they connected whatever way to make something then surely it's just being inventive. There are no rules. You build and create whatever you want in any way you can with what's in front of you.
But some techniques are not used in the manuals for the original box sets. This is why they are called "illegal" (it's a tongue-in-cheek use of the word, of course).
Shouldn't that be illegol ?
You know nothing, Jon Snow.
ok go die of colera then
When I was a kid back in the 70's I manage to build a lego brick thrower, something like a cross between a rifle and a catapult (it totally worked) and I remember using "illegal" techniques to achieve that. Since then I don't feckin remember how I made it. It's totally a bummer
Haha feckin...you're really original Iván!
Quick someone call the Lego police.
The Lego Popo?
