Their latest Great Ball Contraption layout is putting the spotlight on our incredible GBC Glow Balls!

From smooth ball flow to eye-catching illumination, this layout is a perfect showcase of how our GBC Glow Balls can transform any GBC into a captivating display. Whether you’re a LEGO Technic enthusiast, a GBC builder, or simply love kinetic creations, this is one you don’t want to miss! Great Ball Contraptions are designed to move balls continuously through interconnected modules, creating fascinating mechanical displays.

Have you also build one of our models yourself?

Reveal time!

The wait is over… it’s reveal time!

Last week we asked you to guess which LEGO Technic set was getting the GBC treatment…

And some of you got it right!
(Enjoy those well-earned bragging rights 😄)

And the answer is… the LEGO Technic 8258 Crane Truck set.

 

Originally released in 2009, the LEGO Technic 8258 Crane Truck was one of the standout Technic sets of its era. With 1,877 pieces, Power Functions, a motorized crane, extendable outriggers, steering, and a detailed V8 engine, it was packed with impressive mechanical features.

More than 15 years later, this classic Technic icon gets a completely new life as a Great Ball Contraption module!
