Opening new Doors: new Funnel and new GBC (coming up)!

“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” – Walt Disney

Walt Disney is many things, one of which is: right! In creating the newest GBC (new sneak peak in the picture below!), our right sided turbo spin funnel could not fullfill it’s purpose anymore: it dropped the GBC balls at the wrong side and the GBC balls fell into the void….. Therefore we got curious for a solution, which lead us down to our new path: the left sided turbo spin funnel!  With this funnel, we double the joy: no more limitations in building, making (almost) everything possible! First up: GBC 44!

Get your (left and/or right sided) turbo spin funnel

Throwback Thursday! – GBC 18 Port Factory

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live” ~ A. Dumbledore (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling)

But who said, you can’t do both at the same time? Time for a Throwback Thursday!

 

Going through our archives, I found this gem: the GBC 18 Port Factory. As you can see in the video below, this GBC has a great collection of modules, which got me very excited! Thanks to the quite specific parts of the original LEGO Set, unique modules could be implemented into this GBC.

For starters there is the Seesaw Module, where different directions in the Seesaw are used to use Gravity to lead the GBC balls in the right direction only to release them when the rope linked to the end of the seesaw is pulled tight. Next up: the Wing Push Module, which is used to push the GBC balls uphill.  Then there is the Tilting Bucket Module, where the balls take place in the transparent bucket  transporting them vertically with an ingenious mechanism. Last up is my personal favorite module: the Tilting Bucket Module! Within this module, the nose of the original boat is transformed into a bucket, which tilts after being filled with 3-4 balls, dropping the balls onto the platform to start all over again!
