🎡 Throwback: GBC 38 – Funky Ferris Wheel 🎡

Some GBC modules never lose their charm.
GBC 38 Funky Ferris Wheel is one of those builds — a classic PV Productions GBC from a few years ago that still delivers smooth motion and eye-catching mechanics.

Built entirely from LEGO® Technic set 42098 (Car Transporter), this module features a large rotating Ferris wheel with 12 carriages that continuously lift and release GBC balls in a steady, rhythmic flow.

⚙️ Why it’s still special
• A big, smooth Ferris wheel that dominates any GBC layout
• Automatic ball loading with reliable timing
• Continuous loop: balls always return to the wheel
• Hand-crank powered, with an easy option to motorize
• Optional extras like Xylophone Keys, or Funnel elements

With a footprint of 80 × 70 cm and a height of 25 cm, GBC 38 works perfectly as a standalone module or as part of a larger Great Ball Contraption setup.

If you’ve built it back in the day — or you’re discovering it again now — GBC 38 remains a fun and satisfying build that still holds up today.

The meaning of GBC 61 Raaf

This is what LEGO + family time looks like 💛
A father and son from Canada built several of our free GBC mini modules, including our newest GBC 61 “Raaf.”
They even invented their own names for it—and the results are priceless 😂
