Shadowing Practice: OLD vs NEW LEGO... - Learn English Speaking with Video

Today, I'm gonna discover, build, and test 20 old forgotten LEGO builds that are so cursed, LEGO literally stopped selling them.

To see if there are W in the chat, or if they're clapped.

So anyway, let's go.

Okay, a bunch of random packages have spawned at my door.

And inside should be all the LEGO we're gonna build.

So let's go ahead and bring them into my room.

Okay, let's open the first box, which is also the smallest.

So let's build it and find out what it is.

Okay, this first build is a Lego set from 20 years ago, and it's this robot made from these strange looking pieces.

In one hand, it has this blade to attack, and in the other hand, it has this special shield which actually spins and works as a second weapon.

And hidden in its chest is a secret weapon, and it's this special propeller that you can launch into enemies.

But to test this robot, let's send it to battle with these 10 minifigs.

Nice.

For this next test, let's see if it can survive a giant fall.

Okay, it's time to open the next box and see what's inside.

Okay, looks like it's this huge Lego action figure, and Lego made this 24 years ago.

What the heck?

This literally looks nothing like Lego.

No, it's actually Lego, guys.

And you'll know because certain body parts actually connect with it.

Wow, I wish my eyes had an undo button.

But the most cursed part about this figure is

that it has a robotic arm with this punching glove that you can pull back and release when you push this button.

So to see how strong it is, let's try punching these random items.

Okay, that was pretty impressive, but that still doesn't excuse the fact that this is probably the weirdest LEGO figure I've ever seen.

Okay, inside this next mystery box is our next LEGO set, and this one is literally 27 years old.

In other words, it's from the dinosaur age.

And it's this tiny Lego car wash.

There's an employee to guide the cars inside.

This menu where you select what wash you want.

And to wash the car, Lego made these special pieces that have tiny bristles on them.

So I have this super dirty car that I rubbed outside in the ground.

So let's put it through the car wash and see if it works.

Holy rage bait, I thought this was actually gonna work.

Before we open the next box, here's some weird old Lego pieces like the first ever Lego brick from 77 years ago.

The inside is literally empty, meaning it actually slides back and forth.

20 years ago, brown Lego pieces used to be made from a different type of plastic, meaning they could easily break.

Okay, we've unlocked the next box to open, and inside is another lego set from 27 years ago.

Look how old this box is.

It looks like it was transported through a battlefield.

So let's lock in and build it.

I've never seen instructions like this.

For each step, there's a guy actually putting it together.

Okay, this set is a very fancy expensive looking chariot being pulled by this horse.

But what makes this set weird is that the figures look nothing like real Lego.

It's like Lego tried making their own version of Barbie.

Okay, let's see how fast it can go.

Wow, sounds like my teeth getting scraped at the dentist.

This wheel isn't spinning by the way.

Oh shoot, it's going on through wheels.

Okay, this next Lego build is in a literal shoebox.

Okay, this Lego build is literally 28 years old.

And it's this weird space-themed alien vehicle that literally looks like an insect.

It has these two small pinchers in front of its head to grab people, this flying vehicle on its head, and six legs, including two which work as tiny cranes with a magnet on the end.

That way they can grab and collect these special crystals.

Inside the insect is this control room, and it can even split in half to turn into a smaller insect.

But the best part is it has a built-in speaker that's apparently supposed to play real insect sounds.

Yeah, that really shows how old the set is, because it literally doesn't work.

Okay, this next LEGO build is from 25 years ago.

And it's this huge futuristic alien civilization made from 700 pieces.

It comes with these weird alien figures like this orange one, this red one, or this green one.

But the weirdest part about this set is that it uses these rare special tube pieces.

And they're used to transport the aliens around the base.

So first you load one in this special pod which is shaped perfectly to its body.

Then you load it in the tube.

And using this pump, the air will push it through the tube to the other end.

Wow, this is actually kind of fun to play with.

Comment if you would buy this.

Before the next box, here's some weird lego figures, like the first ever lego minifig.

It literally had no arms and no face.

Or this figure, which is made from one single piece, and apparently you put it on your finger and it works as a tiny finger puppet.

This is a 20 year old Lego Dark Vader minifig.

But what makes it special is when you push on its head, its lightsaber actually glows.

Okay, we've unlocked the next box to open, so let's see what's inside this one.

Okay, this next build is a Lego set from 20 years ago and it's a dinosaur themed Lego set.

It comes with this huge dinosaur, which is probably one of the biggest Lego pieces I've ever seen.

It even has a battery inside and this button that you push, which makes its eyes glow red.

You also build this insane looking vehicle to shoot the dinosaur.

It literally looks like a tank.

It has these huge wheels, this guy on the side with this massive gun, and there's an even bigger gun on the top, which actually fires real bullets.

Yeah, this dinosaur is not moving, guys.

Okay, inside this next box is a 24-year-old Lego set.

It's made from 200 pieces, and it's this LEGO remote-controlled car.

Look at that.

You can actually see the computer inside.

And to control it, it uses this tiny remote.

No way this still works.

Nice.

Now let's try clearing different obstacles with this car, starting with a pile of LEGO bricks.

Nice.

I then tried running over this crowd of minifigs.

Okay, this next Unc LEGO set stopped being sold 25 years ago.

And it's this creepy Lego monkey.

It says ages 6 to 99, so if you're 100, you can't build this.

But what makes this set special is the monkey has an actual motor inside, which apparently lets it climb rope just like a real monkey.

So let's take it outside and see if it works.

Oh, let's freaking go.

Wow, it's actually like a real monkey.

You can even rebuild it into different animals, like this weird insect-looking creature.

100

Someone please comment what this is.

101

Or this giant Lego bat.

102

Let's go, its wings are even moving.

103

Oh, I think it bit me.

104

You can even build this thing, which appears to be some sort of bird.

105

Whoever designed this was either three or they got fired the next day.

106

Okay, inside this next box is a failed Lego set from 25 years ago.

107

And it's this Lego police station.

108

The police building has multiple levels.

109

There's this jail to put criminals, this police helicopter, and this police car, which makes actual noises.

110

But what made this set fail is the figures look extremely weird and nothing like Lego.

111

This guy needs to go to jail for literally having that face Okay, this next box has a 40 year old Lego set inside.

112

Yep It's the oldest Lego set I bought

113

and after building it It's this small Lego amusement park for

114

the figures you get these weird animal characters like this sheep this mouse this fox wearing a hat

115

or this Alligator

116

and the park has different rides like this small carousel this ferris wheel this slide this boat ride

117

which floats on actual water you can even win small carnival prizes

118

which are just tiles with pictures on them this set has pieces I've never seen like this bench this motorcycle

119

or this fence which has hearts in it Okay, we have one final Lego item to unbox but before we do

120

that I found a special store in my city

121

that sells basically every Lego imaginable

122

So I bought some of the oldest Lego sets they had to bring home like this one

123

Which is an ancient indigenous tribe

124

that you'd find deep in the jungle There's this tribal leader

125

which sits on this throne and can be carried around by his servants.

126

And behind him is this stone face and this cave with a treasure chest full of gold coins.

127

There's even this tiny Lego prison which can fit a single minifig.

128

And it's guarded by these alligators.

129

That way you can't escape.

130

I also bought this Lego set which is literally 30 years old.

131

And it's this huge underwater research base guarded by these scuba divers.

132

And it's built into this giant canyon which is made from these huge Lego pieces.

133

You can explore the ocean in this big submarine, which can even collect random treasure using this magnet piece.

134

Then you can bring the treasure to this underwater research facility, where it's collected and studied.

135

There's even a small watchtower to guard the base from these black octopuses.

136

And now, it's time to open the final box, and inside is a 25-year-old Lego set.

137

And it's a literal Lego camera, which connects to your computer and can record actual video.

138

I built it this working Lego tripod

139

and you can actually attach real Lego to it Wow now

140

I can finally pursue my dream of becoming a streamer by clip farming

141

and getting donations So let's plug it into my computer and see if it works No, it doesn't freaking work.

142

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
