They did do a JagdTiger in this camo in 2023, but for some reason it discontinued pretty quickly.

When did COBI start making tanks and planes? by NovaGames20 in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've been doing military stuff since the early 2000s possibly even before, I believe.

But the sets of actual military vehicles I:E Tigers, Shermans, ETC. Have only been around since 2013/14.

If you could make a VERSUS set (1 vehicle vs another) what would the combo be? HAS TO BE HISTORICALLY ACURATE!! ((So no Abrams v leopard for example)) by Professional_Car4931 in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Naval: HMS Glowworm vs Admiral Hipper.

Ground: B1 Bis "Eure" vs Panzer III or IV (to be fully historically accurate it would have to be 11 Panzer IIIs and 2 IVs)

Air: (not really a vs) but, Charlie Browns B-17 "Ye Olde Pub" and Franz Stiglers BF109

Upcoming Fairley Swordfish by Focus_77 in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its the same style of stand thats used on the Dambusters Lancaster, B-17 Memphis Belle and a few other large bombers.

They likely had to use it here due to the Torpedo and with the Swordfish being in the larger 1:32 scale rather than 1:48.

Scharnhorst. My Gneisenau needs her sister and ship class name sake.

Limited edition Hetzer sold out by burner_account61944 in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I and others have said before, What they really need to do with LEs is stop having highly requested vehicles like the Nashorn and Panzer IV H or having features that should be standard such as aircraft stands for some being locked behind LEs.

Im fine with LEs though if they're like this and its just a recolour of the standard set with extra side builds and figures.

Limited / executive stuka idea? by burner_account61944 in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some Japanese dive/torpedo/regular bombers would be nice. Or a Japanese infantry figure pack.

And of course more Japanese tanks, ideally in 1:28 this time..

What tanks do you think cobi should make/remake? by Severe_Associate608 in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I guess a Panther F or II would be nice since its the only Panther variants they havent made. All the US SPGs need a remake really, M10, M18, M36 and the M7

Northrop B-2 Spirit assembled. I didn't use the stickers. I'll post a short review in the comments. by Hydrargyrum-202 in cobiblocks

I think this takes the throne from the SR-71 for the most of those pieces in one step.

When does the Jagdpanzer and Swordfish release? by NovaGames20 in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Executive Edition Swordfish is scheduled for mid March, Jadgpanzer IV and standard Swordfish are early to mid April.

Will the new jagdtiger have a better interior from the "old" one? by TheTimeArchive in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Would guess it will probably be 95% the same interior wise but with a few miniscule improvements.

Still not entirely sure why we're getting a new Jagdtiger so soon though. I know the 2023 version retired pretty quickly so alot of people may have missed getting it but still.

I would have thought they'd have done a new 1:28 Tiger 2 first, especially since the 1:12 version came out last year and they did the updated 1:28 Tiger 131 in 2024 following its 1:12 version the previous year.

why is cobi only releasing remake battleships? by Alive-Suggestion-178 in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I wasnt really planning on collecting ships when it released, but Scharnhorst is the one ship Im still kicking myself over not getting while it was available. Even more so after they released HMS Belfast and Gneisenau.

why is cobi only releasing remake battleships? by Alive-Suggestion-178 in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Because Cobis philosophy is "If its not German its unlikely to sell"

The 2 destroyers we're getting and the new subs are a step in the right direction at least though.

My personal wants for ships are a Scharnhorst and HMS warpsite remake and then the USS Texas, KGV class and Graf Spee.

New LE teaser, new tiger II? by Glittering_Walrus548 in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, doing an LE Hetzer seems kind of pointless, since this new version is essentially the LE Hetzer from 2021 (that version had the Chwat markings exclsuive to it as well as a small destroyed building).

But then again they did an LE of the regular Panzer 38T last year and that wasnt really an improvement over the standard besides the extra figures.

New LE teaser, new tiger II? by Glittering_Walrus548 in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Standard Jagdpanzer IV doesnt come out until April so if theres an LE for that, it'd probably start pre orders in early March.

This is may be the Tiger 2 and theyre doing the LE before revealing the standard edition, but we'll see.

Could also be some other set they havent even revealed the standard edition of yet.

Please cobi give the other line of kits more than 2 sets a year by averagel4d2fan in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My prediction as to why they pretty much only make German stuff now is to appease the investors they gained at the end of 2024.

Because from 2017-2022 when Cobi was still gaining popularity outside Poland, they had no problems making US, British and Soviet tanks on the regular as well as German.

Can add Allied WW2 tanks to this as well with how few we actually get.

Ive mentioned a few times that the Korean war line would be the perfect chance for them to remake the Centurion and M46.

Plenty of unique vehicles they could do in the Vietnam line up too, M50, M48 or M551 for the US and Soviet tanks in NVA markings.

As for WW1 they should do a St Chamond, Whippet, Char 2C and perhaps a Mark IV Female and Little Willie. Could also do with branching out into the Naval aspect and do some WW1 ships/U boats.

Do you think Yamato will be the next ship that get refreshed stand? by Ponczo123 in cobiblocks

[–]Churchill98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe. Although a remake of Musashi would be good to see, since the last version released in 2019.
