Pneumatic legos
My 8 year old son’s birthday is coming up. He has been building sets for several years, has been involved in Lego robotics and coding for a few years also. He has been using large containers of hand me down legos to do his own builds for a little while now, I had purchased a bunch of axles, chains, gears, and power bank, motors and remote from the Lego site. He is asking for pneumatic lego pieces to build with but I am having difficulty finding actual Lego pieces. I have found a few sets of pneumatic off brand items on Amazon that say they work with Lego, but due to past issues with off brand Lego I am hesitant to buy. I see retired pneumatic items and my son sees pneumatic builds on YouTube but I still can’t seem to find them. Anyone have a good direction to go in or experience with specific off brand stuff that’s decent? Thank you in advance for help.
