I want to start building a module like GBC Miniloop 01, but when I check the part list some are very hard to find. How should I get started with miniloops?

BTW, I got a very big set, Bucket Wheel Excavator 42055, and wanted to be able to do MOC's based on the parts in there. There are still many parts not included that I need for building this small GBC Mini loop.

Any suggestions?

    The parts in the model in that video look pretty generic, it appears to be mostly bricks, which are easily substituted for other colors or even shapes. If you need a quantity of a certain piece, you can try Bricklink. Jul 30, 2017 at 2:43
  • @AlexanderO'Mara thanks. but parts like 3937 rocker bearing 1*2 seems hard.

    You are in luck. PV Productions has instructions for building a huge GBC setup out of the pieces in the 42055.
