Today, I am going to take you through my journey of creating a Great Ball Contraption (GBC) module out of a single $33 LEGO Technic set together with my Dutch-speaking GBC friends—and also show what the atmosphere is like at LEGO World Utrecht 2024 when you split up into teams. For background, BrickNerd-in-Chief Dave challenged me to build a GBC module from a single set and offered to provide the set, too. This way, new builders could have an easy way to enter the world of GBC without having to purchase many different parts. It also would be a fun way to show what the design process is like and give insight into the GBC loop to our readers. With those goals in mind, it was time to choose the set.

If you’ve ever been on the inside tour or visited Billund before Skærbæk Fan Weekend, you’ll know that there are a surprising amount of LEGO Group-related buildings hidden in plain sight all around the town. From its humble farmland beginnings, Billund has been the perfect spot to expand the company’s facilities as needed. As the LEGO Group broke ground on the new Innovation Campus last month, I thought it would be pertinent to share just how many nooks and crannies of the otherwise sleepy town are bustling with brick-based life! Out of respect for the staff around town I won’t be including exact locations, but if you find yourself walking about while visiting, you’ll now know what you’re looking at!
