“With LEGO”, rather than “by LEGO”. A remarkable achievement nonetheless, but nothing compared to the original Greek mechanism – the independently acquired celestial knowledge, mathematical ability, and the technical skill required to complete it is mind boggling given the era.

From observing comments here on HN, it’s clear that it’s fairly common for non-native speakers of English to use “by foo” when “with foo” or “from foo” would be more appropriate.

From this and the fact that OP wrote “by Legos” and not “by LEGO”, it was simple to deduce that they meant that it was created using little interlocking plastic pieces and not by the company well-known for selling little interlocking plastic pieces.

I don't know about other languages but in Swedish we use the same word ("av") for both "made from" and "made by".

So the confusion is fairly understandable.
