A small GBC for the hot summer days.

While most of you are having a great summer holiday and enjoying the hot sun outside, you can of course still build with your LEGO. Perhaps building one of our smaller GBCs might be a nice activity! Have you build and investigated our GBC 49 Geneva Drive already?

 

 

Mechanical Monday – Tilting Table Mechanism

Time for another Mechanical Monday! Today in the spotlight? The Tilting Table Mechanism!   The Tilting Table Mechanism is used in our GBC 21 Mine Factory and GBC 45 Stunt Circus. What is the use you ask? Not that hard: entertainment! As the table tilts and turns, gravity pulls the GBC balls into different directions creating a suspense before they finally make their way to the center of the Tilting Table. The table is unique in its working mechanism: where other tables may rotate or tilt, this table combines both actions. But that’s not all: the tilting of the table…

GBC Highlight: GBC 12 Pinball Wizard

With GBC Balls flying everywhere this GBC 12 Pinball Wizard is a fan favorite. Made from the very popular LEGO 42043 Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 set, we use almost every bit from it, including the LEGO Pneumatics systems! Already 7 years old and still holding up to date. We even bring it to all our exhibitions pumping GBC Balls all day.

 

 

GBC Glow Balls for the win!

It’s that time of year again a Brickworld Chicago. Once again they have the World of Lights where all of the lights in the convention hall are turned off for a couple of hours! This allows the our GBC Glow Balls to really shine and highlight all the cool modules and mechanics the builders came up with.
Thank you Adam’s Brick Junction for making a video of it available on Youtube and sharing the glow fun!

GBC 41 Power Pit Mania - 42100 Building Instructions

Jacqueline Segeth - May 17, 2024


As with the GBC 45, I built the GBC 41 on my own, in a week or two. The track worked well straight away, but because we don't have that many balls we had to fill the tipping box with stones. My husband did that job. Then there's driving the bulldozer, which is more something for my son-in-law. A question that requires a lot of practice. Our grandson also adds a ball in his own way :). Teamwork! See video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTmaRCjw7Ww Net als bij de GBC 45 heb ik de GBC 41 alleen gebouwd, in een week of twee. De baan werkte meteen goed maar omdat we niet zoveel balletjes hebben moesten we de kiepbak vullen met steentjes. Dat klusje heeft mijn man geklaard. Dan nog het besturen van de bulldozer, dat is meer iets voor mijn schoonzoon. Een questie van veel oefenen. Onze kleinzoon voegt op zijn manier ook een balletje toe :). Teamwork!
