derrbrad Posted August 6, 2019 Share #28 Posted August 6, 2019 Ever done any of the Brickmania kits? I've always liked the way they looked but seemed kinda high to me. I definitely like their figure options/choices more than the Cobi kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely like their figure options/choices more than the Cobi kits. I'd agree the Cobi figures are lacking in many respects, and also some of them could induce nightmares in small children. But the price difference between Cobi and Brickmania is pretty significant. There are other minifigs available on eBay and I have thought about making some substitutions for my Cobi figures.

ArtyScout Posted August 8, 2019 Share #30 Posted August 8, 2019 I have to admit that these Lego kits look very nice. I remember trying to create some kind of spaceship with different colored and shaped pieces and to make it look even and then I let my imagination take me "...where no one has gone before."

gwb123 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share #35 Posted August 8, 2019 The M7 arrived today. Cobi 1.jpg I've got one on the shelf waiting for a cold, rainy day. Enjoy! PS: It won't surprise me if you find a way to customize it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted October 22, 2019 Share #36 Posted October 22, 2019 Just wanted to report that the M7 will be finished probably this week. I hadn't expected that building these military brick kits is so much fun. Gil your tips were VERY helpfull! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud Kraut Posted October 23, 2019 Share #38 Posted October 23, 2019 They are, absolute. This won't be my last kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted October 27, 2019 Share #39 Posted October 27, 2019 And here it is completed. As I said, "modeling" this M7 was much fun. I'm excited by the detail and the correct scale of the parts. Unfortunaltely the USA & No. marking is only available for one side. Here are some pics.

Waltz41 Posted November 11, 2019 Share #41 Posted November 11, 2019 I have several of the aircraft sets, and for the price, they are really really cool. My kids are into legos so I bought a couple to start out that we could 'build together' and I think they do such a good job for the price. The B-25 is pretty big but worth it. They have a B-17 coming out which should be neat. The corsair has folding wings, and all the aircraft have retractable gear. In case it wasn't mentioned, Amazon is the best place to get them.
