[@chrisgoffe5048]

..same always wanted it as a 7 year old kid

[@ozgundemirr]

Awesome Video!

[@BlackBrickBuilder]

thank you!

[@spencerp_6067]

Great video! I imagine given what this car/set is, and how old it is, it's pretty expensive to get as you probably can't find it in stores and have to buy it online. How much did you pay for it?

[@BlackBrickBuilder]

thank you very much! you can buy it online for arrount 100$ used, and arround 400-500$ boxed and unused, but these are becoming rare. i got the one i build for 80$, but it‘a in vers used condition. still a beautiful nice build.

Nice video, is this the original model or is it improved somehow? Seems to be actually pretty high tech, I had the impression that the original technic car was just a more technical looking City-style car.

[@BlackBrickBuilder]

thank you! it‘s the all original test car from 1988. i had it as a kid too and can remember that it was pretty technical. it‘s still a really nice build!

Why does your logo look like 666

[@BlackBrickBuilder]

YES! you got it! First one!

[@corporalcrimson3295]

@@BlackBrickBuilder ok 👍 👌 🙆‍♂️ but I am very curious what your reason was!

[@BlackBrickBuilder]

@@corporalcrimson3295 OK, i picket my channel name after starting my videos with an all black background, so Black Brick Builder was born. I was looking for a font that represents LEGO bricks, you can still spot the font in my first videos, and also i created my logo with that font. It just happened that the BBB, with this font, is looking like the number of the beast. Since i'm in to metal, a lot, i thought it really fits my persona. Thank you for asking! :D

@Black Brick Builder oh wow that's cool, thanks for the explanation
