As a company, we would like to get you involved in the process of developing our different GBCs and provide you with all ins and outs of the models. Therefore, we came up with a new concept: Fun Fact Friday! From now on you will be able to read these facts (some of which are already to be found on the productpage) every now and then in our newsposts and on social media. Enjoy!
Fun fact – GBC 37 Ratchet Ride: We knew from the beginning that a GBC module from the LEGO set 42097 was gonna be very unique and would bring us many challenges. As you may notice on the part list of the LEGO 42097, there are no driving sprockets included to drive the conveyor belt. So the main focus quickly became to figure out how to drive the conveyor belt in an elegant and efficient way. The Ratchet Mechanism seemed to be the perfect choice!
Another Thursday, another Throwback!
Today’s Throwback: the GBC 12 Pinball Wizard! What’s so special about this Throwback (apart from it being a double Throwback, both to the GBC and to the computer game I spent too many hours playing…) is that this GBC leaves a lot up to the builder. Where do you want to place a spin? You name it! What shape do you want to make a spin? You create it!
Next to the design, this GBC contains some brilliant techniques changing the slope of the pinball ramp, pumping the GBC balls up into the air, altering the direction the balls are bounced onto the ramp, etc.!
Would you like to build your own Pinball and relive the good old days?
Even though we recently launched our GBC 44 Scoop Loupe, we’re already working hard on a brand new GBC 45! Although the release is still far away, I’d already like to share with you a picture made behind the scenes! Wondering what kind of module this will be? Curious about the rest of the GBC? Follow us for more (behind the scene) sneak peaks!
A couple of weeks back, I had the pleasure of sharing the news of our new partnership with SBrick. Although we are happy to be collaborating, you might not yet know what the ‘new’ products do. Therefore, we decided to share with you a video made by Sariel, in which a full explanation is given!
Enjoy!

Are you thinking about building a GBC, but unsure about how to power it? Or have you built a hand powered GBC and now got sore muscles since you have to turn the drive handle yourself? Or have you decided to get a LEGO motor, but don’t know which one to get? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back!
We understand that you don’t want to lose joy over having to make your GBC work manually. Therefore we want to provide you with some information on different LEGO motors: what are the differences and where can you buy them?
