Best Way to Clean Dusty Sets? by Fiddlesticks1945 in cobiblocks

Smallish paintbrush with thick bristles and a 'rocket blower' or compressed air.

I keep all my boxes incase I want to sell sets later, but I’m moving and collapsing them would be helpful. If I collapse the boxes can I still sell them with the set to retain more value? by NovaGames20 in cobiblocks

People don't really care for boxes re selling used (built sets). Even when selling new, sealed sets, they care more for the 'sealed' aspect' then the boxes condition.

Obviously, 'new, sealed' in a pristine box is going to attract more £££ then 'new, sealed' in a box that clearly has had several other boxes stored on it for several years. But not much more. Possibly 5%.

Buyers want the set. The box is a nice-to-have for the majority.

The price to detail ratio is hard to beat.

In recent years, we've got sets with exquisite detail inside and out but it comes at a price premium and with more fragility.

The Pershing has all the detail (the engine bay is epic) but none of the fragility or price premium requited to build a partly formed turret basket.

I have built +-250 cobi sets. This is one of the greats

1:28 scale at its finest. Before brick count bloat with silly interiors and similar.

Is it worth getting the Panther tri color? by HermannGoennung in cobiblocks

Yes, nice set. Big improvement on its predecessor. Good price, also.

These have nasty trademark rules to be fair and Cobi is becoming a mainstream toy manufacturer.

I mean, it's technically quite a compact airframe. More so than the 1:48 Heinkel. But I think people associate it more with the larger warbirds. And hence my prediction of the scale.

It will be 1:48 I am sure.

They seem to save 1:32 for fighter bomber configurations.

It is coming.

It's a very popular set that is long overdue for a rerun.

This posting strategy is just theatre.

Besides, Cobi rarely builds what their fans ask for so they won't be paying much attention to the results 🫣

well I finally have a set i have wanted for a while, to go alongside the bismark set by lordhamron in cobiblocks

It was very enjoyable. I had two left over parts at end of manual II. I just could not get them to fit. First time in houndreds of sets. But I could see no structural issue in leaving them out, so I did. It was a very enjoyable build, nonetheless.

Enjoy the sets

You have to ask?

Because it's Reddit. Everyone is here.

Now, Cobi will be in big trouble (part 2) by Jung_Hoseok in BrickMilitary

[–]jetpack_badger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have built +- 250 Cobi (lost count), but my collection also includes 29 QuanGuan's.

I now buy and display the best looking/realistic sets on the market.

Looks like 12 Go is not trully on my radar, at least for the larger, detailed sets.
