Designed and built by Berthil van Beek for the Eurobricks T23 competition (where I’m sure it will be a contender), this LEGO Great Ball Contraption (GBC) is a massive functional Ferris wheel, with a diameter of a 91cm (~36″).

At the 2017 Brickworld Chicago convention, Beyond the Brick founder Joshua Hanlon met up with LEGO enthusiast Tom Atkinson to talk about and take a tour of what is apparently now world’s largest LEGO Great Ball Contraption.

This portable gaming beast not only plays games from three classic Nintendo systems, it runs on the power of the sun. Out of the box, the player can handle NES/Famicom, Gameboy and Gameboy Color titles, as long as you can get the ROMs transfered to an SD card.
