Introducing Cobi Building Brick Sets to Diecast Model Centre

We’re thrilled to announce an exciting expansion to our product range at Diecast Model Centre – we’re now stocking Cobi building brick sets! 🎉

For over 20 years, we’ve been your trusted source for premium diecast models, and now we’re bringing you a complementary collecting experience that combines the satisfaction of hands-on building with the historical authenticity you’ve come to expect from us.

What Makes Cobi Special?

If you haven’t encountered Cobi before, you’re in for a treat. Founded in 1987 in Warsaw, Poland, Cobi has built an exceptional reputation amongst collectors and enthusiasts for creating building brick sets that go far beyond standard construction toys.

Historical Authenticity That Sets Them Apart

Whilst Cobi sets are fully compatible with other major brick systems (including Lego), they’ve carved out their own distinctive niche by focusing on realistic historical replicas of vehicles, ships, and aircraft. Each model represents extensive historical research, ensuring:

·       Accurate colour schemes that match the original vehicles

·       Proper markings and insignia from specific units and time periods

·       Scale proportions that maintain historical authenticity

·       Meticulous attention to detail that serious collectors demand

Premium Quality Construction

One feature that immediately distinguishes Cobi from other brick building systems is their commitment to printed bricks rather than stickers. This means:

·       Graphics are printed directly onto the bricks for durability

·       Your model maintains its professional appearance for years to come

·       No peeling stickers or fading decals to worry about

·       A more authentic, collector-quality finish

Distinctive Minifigures

Cobi minifigures feature more realistic proportions and detailed printing compared to standard building brick figures, adding character and authenticity to historical displays and dioramas.

Many of our customers are passionate about military history, classic vehicles, and authentic replicas – and Cobi offers a complementary collecting experience.
