You are amazing Sir! I'm 29 years old and still a kid at heart. I'm a expecting parent. My Wife is 14 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Me and my father (who sadly passed away in 2012) always did stuff like this when I was younger. He was a amazing Dad to me. I wanted to become a engineer when I got older cause of this. My Father always brought home toys all the time and most of them were Lego sets and Transformers. I intend on being just like my father to my child (we do not know yet on the gender) as he was to me. And watching this brought back so many good memories Sir. I actually teared up a little. So Thank You for this. And please keep making these great videos. Have a blessed day Sir.

[@onnoschippers]

That truly moved me...🙂 This is the holy grail for me, touching people's lives and inspiring them. You had a GREAT dad! Hold on to those fond memories for deer life and make sure to create as many as you can for your kid! (Regardless the gender, worst case you'll just have to learn the names of all the LEGO friends characters)

[@andrewsantora7943]

How did you accumulate so much Lego technic? Did you buy all the parts in bulk brand new or did you collect them gradually over the years with different Lego sets?

[@Calthecool]

I just finished sorting my LEGO technic collection, it probably took a lot less time than sorting yours because mine is only like 1/10th the size of yours.

[@Unbrickme]

0:30 please let me know what is the exact brand and model of that sorting tray. I love building with lego technic but I just have a massive unorganized bin. I really want to have an organization system just like you!!! This organization system is awesome!!!

[@onnoschippers]

This is a Stanley product, the exact model I don't know.

[@sergiomerzagora7767]

the dream of each lego builder

[@onnoschippers]

Well, the dream of some very color orientated technic only builder. Most people prefer normal lego and they tend to want to have a room filled with stacks of sorting boxes filled with every part, in every color a 1000 times minimum or something😋

[@pyrotection]

me too man, after school me and my friends (also the only ones who know how to) get out our organizing bins and funny enough are the exact same to what you use and then get to work.

Dude, your collection is insane. I have like an 1/8th or the pieces you have. You have like a bunch of duplicates in parts I don’t even have. I need some of the pieces to build the Indy Car I’m planning. All I have is the 9396, and Purple GoKart.

This is great. It must take a lot of willpower to resist buying all the nice colours!

[@arandomdudecommenting9432]

we got the same idea on how to organise lego especially on colors and brick type, but I use ziplocks since I don't have much money and I can't find plastic boxes and also im just a teen so I rely on my parents. I do also have the yellow/black color since I got that from my first technic set and eventually I liked it.

[@LetsDoThis123]

There is a little OCD in this video, but I find I can be more creative when I stumble upon other parts I hadn't thought of using. And my collection contains plenty of the studded lego too :-) Thanks for sharing.

[@user_0777]

Could you please tell me which lego sets are there in your collection

[@onnoschippers]

Well theres 2 BWE's (42055) a zeux(42081), a wheelloader(42030) a bulldozer (8275) and a logging truck (9397). Next to that there's donations from friends and familie and about 500€ worth of bricklink orders😅

[@jltworks3167]

Nice organising of parts! I have a similar way of organising them, but I don’t have as many motors lol.

[@Hide_and_Tweak]

I like your archiving mind set. I also film and upload everything I do so I'm not sad dismantling it. The only thing is I'm a beginner so I end up uploading crap MOCs on my channel and I guess viewers won't subscribe for now.

[@Sapple498]

Nice! I think you should add red to your collection of pieces, it should be really common of the colours and would give a nice contrast to the yellow you build from. The most pieces I have that are in colour (not black, grey) is red.

[@theor.9219]

Super liked!

[@HomeScrapHome]

Your collection is amazing! my son loves lego technics and he has few sets. I wonder if your collection is made from parts from different sets or all the parts were bought separately...

[@onnoschippers]

It's roughly made of the 9397 logging truck, 8275 bulldozer, 42030 wheel loader, 2x 42055 big wheel excavator(I won one) and about 10 other small sets and a big bunch of black beams and other part's I bought on bricklink (I estimate 300€ worth), next to that I bought additional motors and a servo and 7 SBrick's

[@_Anti_Communist_]

what about the lego bricks with holes on the sides , do they count as technic?

[@onnoschippers]

Yes, but thats "old style" and I almost exclusively use studless.

[@ramaprimadiputera6604]

its nice technic collection. I am new to technic parts and want to start collecting and focus on building mechanical stuff etc like yours. could you suggest which parts and quantities to do that?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

nice, how long did it take to sort it out? need to to a big sort out this year sometime. Thanks

[@onnoschippers]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop It has been a process, It was all in 7 sorting boxes before I built the rollercoaster MOC. But while building it I received my price from eurobricks (BWE set) and I bought a big batch of black liftarms, So when I took apart the rollercoaster I had to reorganize my parts because I had WAY more parts all of the sudden. I think I spent like a day or so to re arange it all from 7 into 10 boxes.

[@tv-gv4ic]

👍

[@thomasstrohmayer2805]

Hi this is a cool video but how do you have bought all this parts? Do you know for it a special website? Because only the electric parts cost more than 500€. Ore are you having so much money?

[@prosanis1216]

Nice way to do so my friend. This kinda overviews you don’t see that many often. When I, for whatever reason, need to go into the grandchildren’s playing room I’ll need either a great deal of force or rent a CAT shovel or backhoe! It’s a good idea however to sort it out! 👍👍. By the way, you’ve got these accent as I recon as European? Dutch or Swedish?

[@onnoschippers]

Hey, Thanks! Good guess, I'm Dutch (and proud of it😋). For normal LEGO this system might be hard because Technic has way fewer parts, especially if you restrict yourself to one color. so that works best for me. Sorting things out feels just plain boring though, but I do that together with my girlfriend.

[@krzysztofmatuszek]

@@onnoschippers Dammit, I'd sacrifice a lot to find a girlfriend who would sort my Technic with me, value what you have m8.

[@stephenstanforth5995]

Where would I go to buy bulk parts like these that are not part of a set ?

[@MarJor83]

Great Video. Which Brand of this sorting boxes did you use?

[@onnoschippers]

Stanley sells them. Doesn't really matter I think I'd just reccomend getting ones wit non-removable dividers

[@Nico71Fr]

I am surprised that you have many more motors than me but not to many parts. I use plastic case tower which is better for me to keep un vertically sorted. Less espace on ground on my desk. Do you have a brickset link to your collection ?

[@onnoschippers]

Jep, I love using a lot of motors to give my MOC's many RC functions, and In some moc's I needed a lot of XL motors , and in others a lot of L motors. the result is that I now have a lot of all sizes of motors😋 As for the part's , you keep MOC's around and you also use studded technic parts so your collection is bound to be bigger. I don't keep my MOC's around so my collection does not need to be a lot bigger than my largest MOC. Love your builds by the way, I like how you do a lot more than just building cars!

[@onnoschippers]

Ow, I don't own many sets so a brickset account is not interesting for me... I own these set's: -2x BWE 42055 ( I won 1 on eurobricks last year) -wheel loader 42030 -logging truck 9397 -bulldozer 8275 The rest is small donations from friends and family and about 400€ worth of bricklink orders, 450 in sbricks and sensors and 200 ik motors bought directly from LEGO. I estimate I spent about 1500 on my collection so far.

[@Nico71Fr]

No I do not keep moc build, I always dismantled if before I build a new moc. You can see my collection here : rather small www.brickset.com/search/?OwnedBy=nico71

[@gopherguts2183]

Do you get your pieces on bricks and pieces? What about your curved gear racks from set 42055?

[@onnoschippers]

Lego Gopher I get my additional parts from bricklink, and yes, the curved gear racks are from my 2 BWE sets (I won one on a eurobricks contest with my maximum impact battlebot MOC)

That’s your intyer (no pun intended) set 👍

[@SuperChiefer84]

Nice but where are the pneumatics?

[@onnoschippers]

I'm actually not a big fan of pneumatics, mostly due to the fact that I love remote control and using pneumatics is difficult then. I'd need a motor to generate air and a second one to switch the airflow... usually it's just more efficient and compact to use a motor 😋 This would all drastically change if LEGO would produce a power functions valve though😉

[@LP_-jh3ud]

Do you build and create or make a plan before

[@onnoschippers]

I create a global plan in my head, and along the way i'll be like "OH! that'd be even cooler!" and than I'll break down and rebuild parts to make the new idea. That happens like 4-5 times in big builds.

I used to... but I'm more a hands-on kinda guy. Iike it better when I can play with something with a remote for instance.

Plus the motor limitation on mindstorms is an issue for me(obviously), I'd need at least a few($$$) and they take up way more space.
