you know nintendo uncle? Well my mum was lego's first employee in Australia, she spent a summer holiday playing lego with kids at the Melbourne department store Myer. She had a cool lego enamel pin that as I a kid I was obsessed with to the point of losing finding, wearing everywhere all the time, breaking, losing traumatically forever. I ended up with not the 8880, but the 8860. It was mind blowing (the diff and the steering!) I'm still building stuff with the bits with my own kids 40 years later.
