To someone who made loads of stuff with Lego in the 70s, and thought you could just buy Lego kits this really was amazing. The work you put in is mind-boggling. Can't wait for the build video!
I loved Legos and C64's! I got rid of both when I was 15. My dad had a heart attack and I didn't know if he would make it. So I decided I had to grow up right then and there. I sold all my trading cards and my hot wheels at my yard sale too. Today, 20 years later, my dad is still around and I love to see what I missed out on through these videos. Thanks!
C64 and Lego combined is like.. wow.. We are so proud of Lego here in Denmark.. LE-GO -> LEg GOdt -> Play Well... Interestingly, “lego” is also a Latin word meaning “to gather or collect”, which is somewhat fitting, given what their most popular product ended up being.
What a world we live in where we have virtual Legos now! I actually really like the idea-- unlimited pieces, none of the hassle of finding that one piece among the rest or stepping on bricks in the night-- but then, that was part of the nostalgic Lego experience, wasn't it? Kids these days are gonna grow up having never stepped on a Lego XD
I really dig the transparent red finish. It’s a good thing you were just trying to build the keyboard part, not the flappy drive. “SID Chips! SID Chips?” That’s one very salty synthesizer!
I am absolutely impressed. I am german. Excuse me my bad english. I got my C64 in December of 1985 on Christmas. I cant believe what I've seen in your video.
I'll have to confess that I did long, wheezy, old man laugh at the 'number 9 dilemma' as a Lego veteran having encountered it in the past as a kid. I love Lego and enjoy the fact that my daughter likes it too so it's another chance to play with it!! Epic project tho and would've love to have been able to do something like this in the mid/late 80's when I was heavily into Lego but probably 80% of the custom pieces available today didn't even exist. I was rather fond of the transparent pink for some reason and I'm not one for favouring colours.
Awesome project idea, brilliant implementation! It would be great if Lego would make a kit like this. Even just a lego mechanical keyboard by itself would be awesome.
The amount of work you have put into both this project and the making of this video is just mesmerizing. Also your low pitched voice and your demeanor adds a lot to the watching experience. Thank you so much for doing these kinds of things.
Oh My! As a kid in the late 70's lego was my pride and joy - I loved it to bits! So much fun and imaginative play. My sister was taken to Australia on holiday with her best friends family and as "compensation" I went on a week long computer camp hosted at a University in my city. I learned BASIC on a BBC Model B... Some months later, having gotten a love of computers (and maybe due to some pestering) my parents bought the family an Atari 600XL... of course I became it's primary user and ultimately I think they got sick of the clutter in the living room and it found a home in my bedroom (and I got to have a TV in there too - also VERY amazing as a kid in the early 80's)... My collection grew and of course one of my pride and joys was my C-64. Ataris hold a soft-spot as what I cut my teeth on for advanced learning and use but the power of the C64 for graphics and sound (and gaming!) was superb. In the meantime I did get into Technics lego too... Long story short - the things I held dear as a younger child and early teen were lego and a C64... and here they are combined in this video! Thanks for yet another great piece of content - those weeks of work were thoroughly appreciated by myself and I am sure I am not out of place in saying... thoroughly appreciated by many many others too! Well done that man!
I find the 'lady-voice' a little weird, but, he is a VERY good presenter. [ with room for the cool stuffs I have in boxes ] I wish he talked above a horse whisper at least once... [ ed - some of us have to TURN ON CAPTIONS SO WE CAN MAKE OUT WHAT HE IS SAYING SOME TIMES!!! ]
It's amazing how much work you put into building a computer keyboard, the Commodore 64 to be precise, out of LEGO Bricks. This is an amazing-looking model with the rendered images...but just imagine what it will look like in real life! I supported your impressive model on LEGO Ideas today. This definitely deserves the fame and glory of becoming a LEGO set. Have a good day, sir! Regards, Joseph cheeseinthepie. 10/22/2018
Holy smeg balls! that is awesome! best video I have seen (this week at least). love the concept, design process and final product. thanks for creating and sharing.
Holy Crud! I was an AMSTRAD CPC kid ( Don't shoot me.. PLEASE! ) But WOW! The attention to detail on this is astounding. I really look forward to seeing this built 'In the bricks'. :)
The most relaxing and entertaining video I watched this year. Or the last few years. Unless you count apetor's videos. He is still #1 in my book, but this one is a close second. :-)
Looks like perifractic's looking forward to at least another couple weeks of lego-fun!!! I love the idea of making a lego C64! It's such an original idea! Great going Pery!
Excellent design!! Aaaah brings me back to the 80's and many many awesome hours of fun playing with Legos. It's really impressive that it all came together looking so much like the 'real' thing! Very very cool - I can't wait to see the follow-up video!! BTW, excellent catch on the keyboard stems fitting the round Lego pieces -- Who knew?!
I thought this couldn't get any better, and then there was a puppy paw high 5. I totally love this! Seriously, this is really amazing. It would be awesome to see this as a fully working C64 with Lego case and keyboard. I wonder how tough it would be to make a working Lego 1541 and Datasette.
Wow! Lego should pack up that set for real and pay royalties to the designer (you). That Brixty-Four is way more creative than the usual job Lego does.
Your voice in combination with your looks and enthusiasm takes some getting used to. Comes across as a Bob Ross, painting a C64 in lego style XD And I love it! I love everything about it You're amazing! I love the video, I love the idea, I love it that you designed the motherboard in lego bricks as well, even though you're going to try and replace it with the real thing. I love lego and I LOVE the C64! This is an amazing project! I know what I want for christmas! The instructions and the bricks! :D Okay, I'm done. I'm okay, I'm relaxed. I'ma go dance on the ceiling in anticipation :p
Thanks for sharing this video and innovative ideas of reinventing the C64. Like you said, commodore cases are becoming rarer to find these days. Apart from Lego, maybe 3D printing is the way to go. On a contemporary art website I stumbled on, they 3D printed the breadbin case.
Christian, you are a devil !!!! :D You, Jan Beta and The 8-bit guy have driven me to wipe the dust from the solder to bring back life to my old systems and now ... LEGO with a C64 !!! :D Should I wipe the dust from my old "Lego technics big box" too ? :D
@@ThemildmanneredgamerBlogspot Dont worry !!! I have already recovered the big box. Obvously for my kids :-D My girl is almost 3 years old and my boy is 8 months old, so I have enough time to prepare Lego and Commode machines for them ... and check them carefully that they work as expected :-D :-D
I see you're aiming for a specific colour, but what about visiting a flea market and picking up a shoebox or two of random lego parts? Just for testing purposes, you could go crazy with knives and pliers, scratching a prototype is more acceptable when parts get stuck, and it would speed things up with final build. I think people would dig mishmashed colours too.
Been debating on what to do with one smashed bread bin system I acquired. I really wanted to keep it as a bread bin and this is perfect for it. I think. Looking forward to part 2.
So awesomme, that I had to write the lego company here, and ask them if they can use it for exebitions/display or make a limited production run or something.
Just chatted with Lego customer service online. Asked if they would do new molds for keycap reproduction. It will help so many vintage owners. And perhaps they can make a line of sets called "Vintage Computer" or something like that. I gave a link to this video.
If anyone one could sell me the ultimate in lego computing it is you with that voice. It was an amazing video and honestly think an outer shell in the same style should be made as a replacement for aging systems because it looks both retro and modern at the same time.

Can't wait! Two of my favorite things; retro computers, and Children's construction toys!
this premiere thing sucks monkeyballs. however, this project is awesome and you are too. looking forward to seeing it once youtube lets me.. : ) : (
(( Children's construction toys ! )) the box says 3 - 99
Truly Brilliant. Can't even imagine the time and effort you must've put into this!! Glorious!
with that punny name its as if it was meant to be.
To someone who made loads of stuff with Lego in the 70s, and thought you could just buy Lego kits this really was amazing. The work you put in is mind-boggling. Can't wait for the build video!

Thank you for Lego.
Black bottom with clear orange top is my ideal colour scheme

Not if I can help it! Real Lego C64 incoming in a couple of weeks!...
I really dig the transparent red finish. It’s a good thing you were just trying to build the keyboard part, not the flappy drive.
“SID Chips! SID Chips?” That’s one very salty synthesizer!
The transparent blue version looks fantastic.
You come up with some of the most original retro / gaming / computer content on TH-cam! This is amazing!
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. 👍🕹️
This is awesome. Only the Lego Bugatti tops it.
If the US isn't going to convert to Metric, can we convert to Lego measurements? :P
Amazing idea!
As a US citizen, I will personally start using Lego measurements.
I think that should be the new worldwide standard!
LEGO is metric, each stud is 8mm wide!
I've been measuring my peen with lego bricks for years. Come to think of it, I don't know why I keep doing it over and over.
Your voice is so soothing... Your mic doesn’t do it justice!
This is just fantastic, can't wait to see a real C64 motherboard running in the Lego case!
Yes that should be the next project of Perifractic! A real C64 motherboard in a Lego case 👍
Was not planning to like this video, but the amount of work involved ...WOW ..Impressive :)
I am absolutely impressed. I am german. Excuse me my bad english. I got my C64 in December of 1985 on Christmas. I cant believe what I've seen in your video.
Greetings from California!
@@RetroRecipes Thank you for your answer.
Two of my favorite childhood things smooshed together, you are the best...
Wow, can't wait for the build.
Yellow is def the best. I'm now thinking of getting a beat up old commodore and painting it yellow.
Your voice is very relaxing
It's like a British Bob Ross. I'm totally ok with this.
i use this shit to fall asleep
I totally agree
Like Zap Brannigan, it's like a velour fog.
@@ethantaylor8306 "Let's have a little fun with this" - verbatim Bob Ross. Next he's going to talk about "Happy little SIDs" and "It's your computer"
That's pretty cool, LEGO Bob Ross!
Just a happy Lego accident 🎨🕹️

This could be my new favourite channel .... not really sure why 👌
If nothing else, I appreciate how calm and quiet you are.

Thank you so much for doing these kinds of things.
That super, vibrant, glowy green is just too good for the case

Very cool way to combine retrocomputing and LEGO! Makes me want to build a LEGO Apple IIe.
It's already on the list :)
Just.... WOW!!!!!
That is a cool design for a commadore. If I were to build one I believe I'd go with the transparent yellow top with a grey base.
LOL, the 8-bit Guy made a wild appearance
that is insanely cool! Lego need to release this as an Ideas kit. can't wait for part 2 of the series!
Hench, as of today , thou shalt be my Lego/C64 Bob Ross. So let it be written so shall it be done!
And so he dost beat the devil out of his lowly brushes, for the devil is evil
I can't wait to see these both, the full lego and the lego case with a real board in it, fully built! This is awesome!
I imagine you hear this a lot, but my god you are incredibly soothing to listen to.
I find the 'lady-voice' a little weird, but, he is a VERY good presenter. [ with room for the cool stuffs I have in boxes ]
I wish he talked above a horse whisper at least once...
[ ed - some of us have to TURN ON CAPTIONS SO WE CAN MAKE OUT WHAT HE IS SAYING SOME TIMES!!! ]
What kind of ladies do you hang around with? 😉🕹️ #ladyvoice #deep
Christian...I’m simply amazed. What a fun and creative project, and you’re a perfect gent to release your hard work to everyone. Cheers from Oklahoma
Superb.
I'd have a dark green one.
That is beyond incredible & a clash of 2 of my personal worlds I never even thought about. Clear transparent would work well.
7:46 Hey! It's the 8-Bit Guy!
....that was incredible. I can't even. Great work! And thanks for making this project available to the community!
Also the dad jokes are real. xD
I use Lego a lot and I am 66 years old, its great fun. The Commodore 64 you done there is amazing, well done.

The Lego motherboard is freaking hilarious :D
if it weren't for the music, i would've thought, i would be watching an ASMR video.
Both my wife and I are extremely impressed with this project!! And for my wife to say she likes it, it must be good!! Kudos sir o7
Can someone's voice be TOO soothing?
The idea is you fall asleep then have to watch again ;)
Holy smeg balls! that is awesome! best video I have seen (this week at least). love the concept, design process and final product. thanks for creating and sharing.

But WOW! The attention to detail on this is astounding.
I really look forward to seeing this built 'In the bricks'.
:)
medium blue and light grey for the classic space look
amazing.i wish this kit was available at our neighbourhood Toys R us.
CANT WAIT FOR PART 2 !!!
Bring on part 2, man oh man i can't wait. Killer design, simply beautiful and I bet it will be amazing in person after construction.
Hey I know you from somewhere! 🙃
@@mr.ponyboy5111 Hahahahahaha. Hey buddy! hahahaha
Doing ok I guess of to work now though!
I never knew I needed this until I saw this video. Looking forward to part 2!
I would go for the classical grey design. :)
One of the coolest things i've ever seen

you are ridiculously awesome! seriously dude i love C64's, even tho im so young i was born after commodore went out of business lol(im 14)
whoa! this is beautiful! ... and tempting! :D
I wish I had seen this video when you first uploaded it. This is truly excellent, thank you!

oh god, that "welcome" at the beginning
So awesomme, that I had to write the lego company here, and ask them if they can use it for exebitions/display or make a limited production run or something.
Amazed!!!! Such an epic Lego Techy set you have created. :b
Wow I. Glad I found this channel really awesome with the legos
man ohhhhhh man. combining lego and a c64, that is some killer stuff. I can't wait to watch this one, bring it on!
Been binging these videos and I can't tell if I keep coming back for the bad puns or in spite of them :)
Welcome back either way!
I finally got around to watching this video. Damn, Chris! That is bloody impressive! Great idea and well done! Looking forward to Part 2.

Great work!
didn't expect you to be here!
Why do you only have 4 likes?
Just found your page, I’m hooked
Super cool, Legofractic! Looking forward to seeing the finished case with real 64 inside. DIY case, Loving it.
Cheers commodorace briXty 4!
I was just like "ok, this is neat"
But then: the keyboard. WOW. Nice work.
If anyone one could sell me the ultimate in lego computing it is you with that voice. It was an amazing video and honestly think an outer shell in the same style should be made as a replacement for aging systems because it looks both retro and modern at the same time.
holy shit!!! this is soooo awesome... transparent grey
Add a extra mini 64 inside that mini lego 64. Then you have the 64Ception
Wow, that's awesome. Must have taken forever to design all that!
😅
Great video
THIS IS SO AWESOME.
Now I can die in peace. The world can’t have anything better.
This is some next level building.
