Today we are going to take a look at all the wonderful moving creations the LEGO Great Ball Contraption (GBC) community has made during 2023. Like we did in 2022. we will look at some of the best modules and layouts of the year and feature some of the fascinating innovations that happened within the GBC community. Let’s get the ball rolling! Monumental Modules of 2023 Let’s highlight the individual modules first. I have made a selection of mechanical masterpieces, though other modules might be pieces of art themselves. I should clarify that the modules I mention are in no particular order. gbc ROLLERCOASTER - Berthil van Beek There have been numerous endeavors to construct GBC rollercoasters, with a notable series on YouTube by Tomáš Ullrich.

Christmas is now, for better or worse, behind us. You know what that means? Hallowe’en is only 44 weeks away! The reason I bring that up is because of Patrick Biggs‘ latest LEGO build. It may seem like a festive build at first – but don’t let that fool you. This isn’t Rudolph; it’s a being known only as R̵̂͠u̶͐͠d̵̈̀o̷͛̈l̴̀̓p̶̅͘h̵̎.

We’re all familiar with the loveable LEGO minifigure, right? And some recent sets and creations have also brought us the big-fig, whether from Harry Potter, Castle, or even a generic theme. But what about the minifigure representation on a medium scale? Donny Chen introduces us to a fresh-baked midi-scale LEGO figure with his delicious gingerbread man. In these post-holiday times, I must admit there’s such a thing as too much sugar. So thanks, Donny, for tempering the size of this cookie-fied fig to something more diet-friendly.
