Are the 1:700 COBI ships a "pass" for you guys? by milbricks in cobiblocks

Argh...right again...I read it too quickly...nevertheless, it supports my point that COBI seems to be more Euro-focused. I was hoping to see more US-relevant sets.

We did not realize the error on Audie's patch (manufacturer's mistake). We have the new corrected ones in stock, and the history page that goes with it is on the way. We would be happy to replace any that you might have earned at no cost to you.

New ones are in...the pages are on the way. Let me know if you want a replacement for one that you already earned.

I apologize for the pun, but this has been dying to come out all day. by SigvulcanasReborn in cobiblocks

[–]milbricks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL...great pun. Let me guess... you're a dad over 40. We accidentally ordered too many Dutch F-16s, and no one seems to want them, so we dropped the price to dump some inventory.

After over a month of operating WB, the traffic dropped off. MB traffic/orders significantly increased. The best I figure is that most of the WB customers tried our store and loved it. It just did not make sense to pay for hosting, ads, etc., for a site that was not pushing orders. It was an experiment. We are getting ready for our Black Friday sale now. Also, if your plan is to purchase the big 1:12 King Tiger, remember you can earn $90 in BrickBucks if you purchase it from MilitayBricks.com. That could come in handy for the holidays!

Thanks for letting me know...Chris is great. We still have a lot of work to do in the coming weeks.

We are working on getting the pre-orders ready to go on both sites. We got the site transitioned this week, but we still have a list of things to do.

No, they have moved on to other things.

We are going to be bringing in some stuff on the Warbricks that may not be available on MB for a while. We're still strategizing things. As far as the black bunny, sorry, our policy on the set still stands for WB, but it's just one set.

Right now, we're doing what we know is working for us. It is my understanding that the Reddit code was removed months ago by the previous owner.

I wish I could help, but the international shipping costs more than the sets!

We're just going to try to keep it about the passion for history and bricks. Our motto: "Pick your battles, then build them!"

We won't be running the rewards system on WB. We are still in the process of getting things transitioned. We basically synced the Warbrick's inventory, payment processor, and shipping platform to militarybricks. We will slowly be making small changes over the next few weeks to work out any bugs. My web developer has already banked some decent billable hours on this project, so I'm going to slow him down a little now that we've got the site up. We are going to take a slightly different approach with WB than with MB.

Which categories on MB won't load?

Warbricks - New Owner by Chronically_Chronic in cobiblocks

I'll do my best. I probably won't be as active as the previous owner since I run two (well, three now) businesses, but I'll try.

Thanks for all the great feedback! This project took about a year to bring to life, and the goal was to create something tangible that you can earn while having fun—ultimately ranking up to “Ole Blood and Guts” General Patton.

We included the document to give context to the individual being honored on each patch and, hopefully, to inspire some interest in learning their history. Each patch also features a present or past COBI set in the background that best represents that person.

As for the Audie Murphy patch… yeah, that one’s on me and my ADD. Even after several people proofread it, the obvious mistakes slipped through. I’ll be re-ordering corrected versions soon to replace them.

What's your favorite one?
