GBC 51 Gravel Works – Master builder access

Build without knowing exactly how it is going to function? This is only for true master builders we believe.
The building instructions are now already available and until we have launched the official product video of our new GBC 51 Gravel Works (42131 alternate build) this challenge is a fact. Who will be the first to send us their fan build of the machine in action? Looking forward already to these moments.

 

And here you can upload your fan build of it ;) We would really like that!

 

The New Motor Power Pack is out!

Have you already seen?! More and more often we got questions and requests on how to power your GBCs and models with a motor and where to get them.
Where in the past we had no direct answer for this we now have everything you need available on our website.

You can connect the various electronics we have available in many ways but the most common and default order stacked on top of each other would be:
USB power source (Micro USB) → USB Power Box → Power Controller → Power Switch → Technic Motor.

 

If you have none of the above and you want to get everything in one go we now also have a new combi pack available which saves you big time on all the parts.

Brickworld Chicago GBC “World of Lights” better than ever before!

For many years Brickworld Chicago is one of the biggest LEGO events in the USA. In the last few years there is a new theme called “World of Lights” which implies turning off al the big lights from the ceiling and turn on all the little lights in the LEGO creations. Although this is absolutely spectacular, for GBC builders it was hard to showcase their great GBC machines. For that reason we have developed our GBC Glow Balls which light up the modules and you can follow the path of the GBC Balls wonderfully.

GBC Glow Balls can be charged with our UV Led Strip which is compatible with LEGO Powered Up and Power Functions. After they have been charge they will shine a green glow for over 2 minutes. This event gets better every year and this year again it is a marble to watch in action.

The video below is from the Youtube channel “Adam’s Brick Junction”. Thanks for sharing with us!

 


Have you also build one of our models yourself?

Get your GBC Funnels out

Our upcoming GBC 51 Gravel Works features a stunning 2 GBC Funnels after each other. This is the first time we have done something like this and it is absolutely awesome to watch. The amount of GBC Balls they can handle and the sound it generates gives us goosebumps.

Do you have the GBC Funnels ready on the launch of our GBC 51 Gravel Works?

 

 

 

Use Powered Up via your LEGO EV3/NXT

For some time we already provided the possibility to control a LEGO EV3 or NXT motor with your LEGO Powered Up Hub. But what about the other way around. This turned out to be a little bit more difficult and took some extra research to get it working properly. But today is the day and there is no limitation here anymore.

Meet our EV3/NXT to Powered Up Adapter. This adapter cable allows to control LEGO Powered Up motors and lights directly with your LEGO EV3 and NXT. How sweet!
