I have a few cobi sets and I absolutely love them and think they’re a great value. I’d definitely would be interested in you building and reviewing them. Strongly recommend it
@saslovskykoslov2 жыл бұрын
I collect cobi, since I can afford those. But I love them after I bought their Sabaton and Rudy tank from them. The USS Enterprise or that dark gray tiger you'll love. If you can't decide watch Brickmeets videos on those sets and decided from there. Since most of my collection is influenced by his channel.

They aren't provided with bricks fron lego and cannot be massed produced, the sets are hand sorted, instructions are made through bricklink and some other labor intensive things cause the price to be high

It's the simple rule of business - if people are willing to pay it, they will charge it. An iPhone doesn't cost nearly 900+ to make, yet due to the brand/reputation, people will pay the high price tag. LEGO is the same

Great choice of minifigures too and love the ones you picked up, think the mermaid batman should be placed in your beach area! 😀

I love Brickmania sets! They are super accurate and high quality. They are “overpriced” compared to LEGO sets, but they are great customs. I probably would get 80-90% percent of their aircraft I my wallet would allow. But alas, I have yet to get a kit or PDF instructions online. Kurt’s MOCs on Flickr also has some great military aircraft, but he closed his Etsy store recently before I got any of his instructions. Someday, but not yet.
@EmmetBrickowski2 жыл бұрын
The cobi aircraft carrier is an amazing set to get. I know their enterprise is built mainly with snot brick building and reverse building and the snot brick technique is used in the dark gray tiger as well. I recommend the Enterprise from cobi with those techniques in it.

Brickmania's stuff is actually dumb expensive. There's one right by me. Like its cool custom military stuff, but as if just LEGO wasn't expensive by itself. Mostly just a small audience that they capture. Clearly they're doing well though enough to have multiple in store establishments. Study the photos, get creative, and you can just Bricklink your own for 80% what they're asking if you just really "got to have it."
