  • There is no other tank in AFV history which has captured the popular imagination more than the Panzer Tiger 1. It is the one tank most people can name, even if they have little or no real interest in tanks.

    You put the tracks on the wrong way round! The tank “tread” is supposed to be on the outside running surface, not inside running on the wheels. Having now built a lot of Cobi sets (mostly ships) I agree with your comments about brick types and quality. They are better than Lego with more detail. The builds are very enjoyable,

      You are correct. Those teeth on the treads should be towards the wheels. Easy enough fix.

      You know you're right. They are inside out. I had to take a closer look at thumbnail of the video to notice that.

    I just finished the HMS Warspite and there actually was a misshaped sloped piece which was quite odd. I have built about 12 Cobi sets and that's the first time I have encountered this problem. On the whole Cobi is excellent.

    Greetings fellow Tommies. I like the way you point out the good points of cobi. Only wanted to say: 3:21 you pronounce Panzerkampfwagen like you're German native. And that is remarkable because your English is great for foreign listeners. thanx for winning WWII from freedom loving citizen of nowadays Berlin.

    Coby is actually pretty good on making the details of the tank, but the mini figure was a little bit too boring, but I still liked it, just not the minifig that much. Really looking foward to your next Lego video by the way , hope you think of an idea to do it.

      @@DrJakesVeryBritishReviews Lol, they're the wrong way round, there are little teeth on one side that lock into the wheels, also if your tracks are staying on then they're too tight, and it looks it, they should be resting on the top of the wheels. Just add another link, and flip the tracks around and it should work better.

    In my opinion this is the best Tank Cobi made. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 Best regards from Germany 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 ☺️ I also have this Tank. A very cool Set is also the Stuka. But this is an old Set with Stickers. And yes, the tracks are on the wrong way 😉 but you know it.... The best plane at the moment is the new Corsair in my opinion 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

    05:59 - well handled... only a professional UA-cam viewer would have noticed that - it will have passed the average Johnny by completely. And oh yes... Cobi is an incredibly good manufacturer, and I enjoy buying from Bricktanks. I blame you for that.

    I do plan on getting this tank. But I do want to point out that if you look at picture of the box (both sides) of this version, which is the standard version, and the limited edition version of this tank. You'll notice that the smoke launchers on the turret aren't included in this one, their only in the limited edition version of this tank. Along for other minifigures too. But just look at the boxes of both versions of this tank to see the difference between the two.

    This is very cool, but not sure now well a bunch of tanks would sit against my LEGO stuff. I was supposed to fly from Shanghai (where I live) to west China tomorrow to do some high altitude trekking, but due to a recent COVID outbreak in Chengdu the trek has been cancelled. Might head to a nearby LEGO store tomorrow and purchase myself the LEGO Daily Bugle model with the reimbursements... every cloud has a silver lining and all.
    I'll have to check out and see whether COBI is available in China.

    Great video, I've only had two sets (tanks) from Cobi and I'm already a big fan - I'm beginning to prefer them over the 'leading brick model manufacturer' for quality and over reasons tbh. Also I just thought I'd point out that you've put the tracks on inside out as the bit sticking up on the outside is suppose to go through the slits in the wheels to keep the track on ^^
    But yeah, I thoroughly recommend Cobi/Bricktanks and I look forward to seeing your reviews on the new brands Bricktanks are going to take on.

How did the same language evolve on a wholly-other planet?? My mind is going nuts with the implications of this revelation! (Or in other words, you are not that fat ;-)
