10 Rarest LEGO Electronics of all Time

Idea for next video: Top 10 rarest lego wheels!

[@Unbrickme]

Awesome idea!

[@roligalo217]

I was thinking about commenting this lol

[@simtau8364]

Mhhh maybe the wheels from 8457 will be the rarest. Except you count the hailfirering as a wheel 🤔

It’s really interesting the weird things Lego has made that most people don’t know about!

[@Unbrickme]

Which of these electronics is your favorite?

[@blueblocker5207]

camera snd the lighting

[@CoolStuffSometimes]

Fiber optics’s

[@ididweirdthings7810]

That camera was available in more sets than that. It was available with the 1349 LEGO Studios Steven Spielberg MovieMaker Set. The only difference that I am aware of, is that the blue and grey on the camera are reversed. To the best of my knowledge, it is the same camera, and the only remaining difference is software.

[@harrisonmagic6305]

This is extremely interesting because I have played with my dads old Lego before and he had the space shuttle (with fiber optics) and that control panel.

[@Unbrickme]

That’s awesome! I recently built the space shuttle a review of that set will come out on Thursday or Friday

[@TheOfficialDorianelevator]

also, i am one of the luckiest persons on EARTH. my mom bought me a random remote control train set from lego back when i was 3 and instead of coming with the standard v1 reciver, it came with THE V2 RECIVER. when i finally watched videos of how rare that darn v2 reciver is and that it dident appear in my set, i was like "oh god, i am so lucky" so due to that that means that there was an error in the lego factory and that they sent the WRONG reciver for my set. so thats how i own a v2 reciver.

[@oldhorn420]

That's crazy dude For me I NEVER got any lego rc system since they got discontinued and I never get the chance to get them

[@TheOfficialDorianelevator]

@@oldhorn420 i cant belive i got this sorting error, im probably the only person on earth who got the V2 reciever thanks to a factory sorting error, since that set was meant to come with a V1 reciever, im so lucky dude.

[@qubex]

I was given the Control Center when it was released in 1990. I was eight. I remember building the plotter and modifying it to have a multiple pen holder, and fantasizing about somehow connecting it to our PC to… erm… well I wanted to falsify my parents’ signatures. :)

[@gearratio6773]

The original fibre optics (I have the shuttle) were sold at a massive loss - the cost to create this in 1996 was way more expensive than the cost in the set. These days it would be much cheaper to build as LED and the controls are much cheaper to mass produce, but in 1996 it was very special. Have the lego camera - I got it to work on windows XP, but could not get it any more modern OS I have 2 of the code-pilot sets cos the set is so cool. I have the control centre 2 (the T-rex) set. The 4x4 crawler... How sad am I :)

[@DaneH64]

The fiber optic would look so cool on the chiron and sian if they made different colors and just a single fiber

[@CatOnTheCouch]

The fiber optic was an interesting idea but it was way too expensive to produce; the element alone costed more than the entire set, so Lego was selling them at a huge lose. Those costly features played a part in Lego's 2004 (almost) downfall, so now everything is about cost-saving, even in those 'luxury" car sets you will not find any special feature/functions.

[@igorgrodzki]

the v2 receiver was actually availble on its own on lego.com

[@Z_E_B_O]

It's a shame theys never made an Exoforce using the Fiber optic part for a cool weapon. A gatling gun or some weird Laser gun would've been awesome.

[@pilotbug6100]

8:30 As a rail enthusiast those are emulating whistle commands that real trains use, although off by one. 1 for stop, 2 for forward and 3 for backwards

[@blomproductions]

7:37 You could actually buy the V2 Receiver. I got it with my 8885 remote when i bought it.

[@CarsSimplified]

I have that fiber optic unit from the UFO set! I always wanted to build a V8 that uses the fiber optic cables as spark plug wires, with the light implying combustion (would have to spin at half speed) in the cylinders, but I haven't gotten around to it. Such a cool part, though!

I feel like the PF rechargeable battery box is starting to get close to this list. A new copy can get close to 100+ dollars.

[@aronslegogbcs1057]

yea my jaw dropped when i saw the prices on BL i brought a grey clove version of it and it works fine

[@Unbrickme]

Yeah definitely! That piece never appeared in a set, and was only sold separately. Not many people buy electronics separately, so not a lot of rechargeable battery boxes exist

[@robkennedy3000]

An uncommonly known one is the Lego Control lab interface (CLI) motor Controller

[@Maxiie_TM]

I think that lego had better electronics and motors in past. Really cool video.

[@chase4083]

they sure were, lego got more simpler when they got more popular

[@Unbrickme]

They definitely had more interesting electronics

[@nievillis]

4:11 We have that, it was one of my dad's or uncle's sets

[@GeeWillikersMan]

2:44 Interesting. I have an RCX packed away, is there a third party software or firmware that can make it useable on modern computers?

[@mz00956]

4:45 i actualy have one of those and never knew from what set it was.

[@froskus]

I had the Vision Command as a kid :-) For info, this was a Logitech camera.

[@lemu0912]

I have the Infrared Receiver V2! I got it from the First 4x4 (not the blue one) when I was little

[@Galaxy-oy4nj]

I would argue that the NXT Temperature sensor is rarer than sound sensor

[@justinvandenberg4751]

You can program the RCX on a Windows 10 PC. You just have to use the education version of the software, called Robolab. And the PC needs to be a 32 bit system.

[@CG-1000-T]

I have four sound sensors that came with a retired Lego nxt set that I got from my school. The set was replaced with Lego ev3s. I have 6 nxts, only 2 are broken, 5 rechargeable battery packs with only one dangerously bloated, a crap load of buttons and ultrasonic sensors, 3 ac chargers, and an unknown amount of USB connectors.

[@camthesaxman3387]

The fiber optics thing is certainly not common, but the few sets that have it aren't really that rare.

[@BEHEMOTH20]

I believe the V2 receivers are much more common than you think, I've got at least 3 and I don't own any monster trucks, pretty sure at least a couple came direct from the Lego online store.

[@Unbrickme]

Are you sure they are V2?

[@BEHEMOTH20]

@@Unbrickme Hi mate, completely sure, all three that I've found so far have V2 printed on the bottom under the channel switch.

[@Unbrickme]

Wow very interesting

[@CatOnTheCouch]

Many more unique electronics out there: 1. Cybermaster control unit and touch sensors (2 sets, both are the same except one comes with a carrying case ) 2. Interface A for the school exclusive Dacta/Education line, not for retail (2 sets) 3. Control Lab Serial Interface for Dacta (1 set) 4. Technic Speed Computer (2 sets, only the Technic one is available for retail, the other one is for Dacta/Education) 5. Stop watch from the Competition Racers with Stopwatch set (1 set) 6. USB camera from the Steven Spielberg Moviemaker Set (2 sets) 7. Micro Scout from Droid/Dark Side Developer Kit(s) (2 sets) And there are many more, Golden age Lego did not hold back when it comes to interesting electronics.

[@legotroid]

I have a 8094 control centre with the technical drawing machine. Bought it secondhand as part of a haul, never built it, as it was missing the Technic pen. The NXT sound sensor is not so rare, however, the temperature sensor is!

like the mindstorm camera, i have the camera from steven spieldberg set. seem to be the same one but transparent blue and light grey

[@TinkeringJohn]

When I saw the control center, i thought you forgot to include the 8485 Control Centre II set having this. I looked at them both and saw that my 8094 controller is labeled Technic Control Center, and my 8485 controllers are labeled Lego Technic Control Center (I have 2 of this set). I noticed that my sets are spelled Center, not Centre. Do you know if there is any difference in the 8094 and 8485 units (perhaps just a difference in the circuit components used). I could open them up and see.

In these times Lego was hemorrhaging money. The company's finances were not well-kept, and they almost went bankrupt. These items were part of the reason why. There was no way they were turning a profit on any of the sets containing these items (of which I own most of them ☺️)
