GBC Glow in the Dark at Brickworld Chicago 2025

Since our launch of our GBC Glow Balls in 2019 many events and builders used the shiny balls in their Great Ball Contraption layouts. It always amazes us what builders can come up with for the glow in the dark GBCs! Amazing. Brickworld Chicago was the first event which went all in on the GBC Glow Balls as they came up with World of Lights. A moment during the day in which all of the lights in the convention hall are turned off for a couple of hours and the LEGO creations come to life in a new way. GBCs always felt short as you could not see the GBC Balls rolling around the machines. With our GBC Glow Balls this is something of the past.

Youtuber and AFOL Adam’s Brick Junction made a video of the GBC modules in the dark in action. Check it out yourself. Thanks for creating this wonderful video Adam!

Guess the GBC #1

In this new series we want to test your knowledge on our GBCs and GBCs in general. If you know the answer, leave a comment down below with preferable a link to the original designer. To start things off easy, we can hint that this GBC is made by us.

 

Tip: See here all our Great Ball Contraptions made from an existing LEGO set.

 

Step it up

GBC 57 Robotic Control is taking great shape and we are working hard on making the building instructions for it. Build entirely from the LEGO 42129 4x4 Mercedes-Benz Zetros Trial Truck set. Stay tuned for upcoming posts and pictures of this one of a kind Great Ball Contraption :)

 

Hypnotised

Watch this hypnotizing video from Ronald Smeets from the Netherlands featuring our beloved GBC 21 Mine Factory. The smooth movements of GBC Balls, slow-motion footage and mesmerizing soundtrack really gets us totally relaxed for the upcoming week :) Enjoy!
