I just went down a rabbit hole on this one.

I remember when tecnics came out. It was very engineering based and kind of an answer to K'NEX which was super popular when I was a wee lad. People were making miniature fairgrounds with Ferris wheels and the like. Technics also felt like legos version of Meccano which was also very popular.

Now it seems like Tecnic is still very much a thing, but they tend to focus on more detailed models of say cars, and other licencee brands. I guess that new Playstation thing used some Tecnics parts.

My initial reaction when I saw the video titled "Lego" was ..... "sir, technically that's Tecnics."
