GBC 62 Lifting Factory is coming – Pre-order now available!

The GBC 62 Lifting Factory is getting closer to completion!

This picture gives a great impression of the scale of this module. In the foreground, you can see one of the sections where a GBC ball is waiting to be transported, while in the distance the impressive Telescope Lift shows just how large this mechanism really is.

A lot of engineering goes into making every movement reliable — from lifting and transferring the balls to keeping the entire system running smoothly.

 

Pre-order now available!
Many builders tell us they’re excited to build a new GBC as soon as it’s released. The challenge is that the final development, testing, and documentation can still take some time, and by the time everything is finished it’s not always easy to reach everyone who showed interest months earlier.

That’s why we’ve introduced a pre-order option. You can already reserve your copy of the building instructions today. As soon as the instructions are officially released, all pre-order customers will be the first to receive an email notification and can immediately download the building instructions and start building.

Pre-order early and be among the first to build the GBC 62 Lifting Factory (based on LEGO® Technic set 8258)!

 

Work in Progress: One Ball at a Time

Work in Progress…

One GBC ball at a time :)

We’re currently working on the GBC 62 Lifting Factory (LEGO 8258 Alternate Build), and today’s sneak peek shows one of our favorite mechanisms so far.

The challenge? Reliably picking up exactly one GBC ball at a time before sending it on its journey through the machine. It took plenty of prototyping, tweaking, and fine-tuning, but watching it finally work smoothly is incredibly satisfying.

Can you figure out how the mechanism works just by looking at the photo?

Stay tuned—there’s much more engineering madness to come!
