Re: Apparently I need a Sigfig?

I've just been using a Minecraft Steve head on various torsos because I like Minecraft. But now I'm starting to think about a new sig fig and face a similar dilemma.

Re: My latest.

Nice work, the 1x2 rounded plates for what I assume is supposed to be worn out mortar/bricks is a great detail!

Here's my latest. It's a utility module that will allow for condensing the amount of GBC on the table by splitting the flow of balls into two separate paths.

Scrooge heard about the price of GBC balls, and is now hoarding them instead of gold coins.

We didn't have room to put this out at BrickCan but I think the motion of the balls is wonderful so check out my 8 foot Duplo slide here.

Re: New Elements!

I usually find new parts by looking closely at the images of soon to be released sets. My current favourite new elements are the splat gears and the XL sprocket. I haven't put them to use yet but they will be in a future GBC for sure! https://www.lego.com/service/bricks/5/2/6238330 https://www.lego....

Looking for 100 Trans-Light Blue 1x2 Tiles.

Anyone local want to sell me some of these tiles? I ordered enough for the BrickCan 2019 Ninjago collab but ended up using a bunch in a different build. I need around 100.

Re: 2019 set

I'm interested in seeing the battery life, and performance of the new "Control+" hubs that will be released inside some Technic sets later this year. The impact of TLG's decision to end the Power Functions line has some serious GBC implications.

Re: Matt's GBC module thread.

So in general, what is your inspiration point? A concept, a part, a technique? Or does it vary from build to build? And I hesitate to ask, what's a Nether module? I've seen GBC modules that had tables that move around before and I wanted to make one for myself. Since I already have 3 Minecraft modu...
