GBC Funnels in your own designs!

Henno Gous from Sweden built a GBC designed by Pawel (Poland) and added in our GBC Funnel Turbo Spin. Yet another great example of incorporating a GBC Funnel in your own designs. Very well excecuted Henno and thanks for sharing with us!

This one is special

This one is special. Our first GBC created from an existing LEGO set is our GBC 9 Industrial Factory. We didn’t know what to expect back then but the response was huge and till this daythis excitement still motivates us to keep doing what we love (and apperently you also love :) and create new models from the parts you already have.

The challenge every LEGO set bring us remains exciting and we alwasy love a good puzzle.
Which next LEGO set should we convert?

 

 

Fan Build GBC 56 Mine Quarry

Steve & Thomas Hunt from the UK finally finished our latest GBC 56 Mine Quarry and got it fully working.  This is what they had to say about it:
All in all, one of the most satisfying builds yet, and probably our favourite of all the 42055 builds. And here it is! It took us a bit longer than planned, mainly due to hunting down stray parts. Disaster struck when we could only find seven buckets! Ebay to the rescue and we soon had some spare buckets on the way – only to find the missing one the day they arrived! It took us several tries to get the two cardan arms synchronised. But once set up perfectly it works reliably and is elegant and fascinating to watch.
Every part of the GBC is now working well. There are a few dropped balls and a couple of spots where a ball can get stranded, so we will try some more tweaks to eliminate those.
Thanks for creating your amazing GBC designs! They really provide us with a lot of entertainment. My son is getting the Liebherr crawler crane for Christmas, but he is much more excited about building the GBC 53 Marble Music Machine!
Wishing a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone at PV Productions!
— Steve & Thomas Hunt
Thanks Steve and Thomas for sharing this with us. It true makes our day to see our machines everywhere and builders enjoying the journey to create something new from the LEGO that they already have!

Happy New Year – 2024 in review

2024 in review. And what a year it was!

With the comback of the LEGO 42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator GBC just in the end of the year it was a wrap for us!

 

This year we released 5 new Great Ball Contraptions created from various LEGO sets. Including our GBC 53 Marble Music Machine, GBC 55 Spring Launcher and GBC 56 Mine Quarry!

 

We exhibited on LEGO World 2024 in the Netherlands with our Great Ball Contraptions and made great memories with the team!

 

On various schools and businesses we provided multiple different workshops with our machines as well, stimulating the technical education (STEAM).

 

In collaboration with Bricknerd we released the GBC 58 Dump ‘n’ Drop with FREE building instructions.

 

We have also partnered with ToyPro to sell some of our electronics products on their stores. Toypro Store

 

Something that is less noticable for customer but very important for us is product updates. We have updated several building instructions which were released 8 years ago. In the background we have also improved our electronic products and accessories to make the user experience better and the use cases greater.

 

So what is to come next?! In the last few weeks we dropped some hints. New GBCs of course but we are also working on something that we think will mean a lot to many builders! Think electronics!

 

We had a blast and looking back on it with a huge smile :) I hope you do too!
What would you like to see from us next year?

Fan Build GBC 58 Dump ‘n’ Drop

Jorian Doornenbal from the Netherlands build one of our latest GBCs, GBC 58 Dump ‘n’ Drop. This machine features a very cool mechanism to load and drop the GBC Balls just in time. It is created from the very affordable LEGO 42167 Mack LR Electric Garbage Truck set so it is easy to get your hands on. And the very best part? The building instructions are completely free!
