For such a decent looking build, it sucks to see you had bad tracks. From what I’ve seen on the channel, it seems kind of rare for COBI to have that kind of a problem.

Amazing, Cobi's model design is so good they are even able to replicate the original vehicle's unreliability and mechanical faults. And poor engine access. Better spring for the special edition, you're going to need that mechanic. Cobi should honestly be ashamed. This kind of QC issue is unacceptable for a premium brand. They should apologize, revert the tracks back to the old mold, or otherwise fix the issue, and send out new tracks to anybody who needs them.

It's always a bad day when Cobi starts cheaping out on their models.

COBI hat das mit dem "möglichst nah am Original" hier etwas zu ernst genommen. Egal, als Displaymodell immer noch gut genug für mich. Was gibt es besseres, um auf diesem Kanal ins neue Jahr zu starten, als ein COBI 1:28 Review? 😁

I really hope Cobi isn't going to start going downhill the way Lego has with their quality control. The 1:28 Jagdpanther was my first bad Cobi experience after having built many wonderful sets, with a very fragile design that caused parts to repeatedly fall off while building. This new Ferdinand looks problematic, too. Cobi had for years been totally trustworthy, with excellent brick quality and set design, but now I'm getting worried :( Prices have gone up in the US, too.

what a shock! i did not expect the cobi track to experience such a failure! and on a premium release... i hope they see this and prevent issues in the future.

Looks like it's as prone to throwing tracks as the real thing

Nice video as always. Also, I wish you a Happy New Year. Shame on Cobi for giving such poor quality on the tracks. I hope they will fix this

Feliz 2024 lleno de nuevos proyectos. Fantástico trabajo.👏👏👍👍

Frohes neues Jahr und DANKE, Sie haben das neue Elefantenbecken gekauft. Darauf habe ich gewartet!

Frohes Neues Jahr

Got elefant yesterday and here is how to fix tracks: 1. Move rear axle one stud further. No extra parts needed. 2. Snip tension/drive axles about 2 mm with pliers. Tension wheels are not alingned withsupport wheels, so they will hook up. One cant do anything with support wheels, but axles are fair game. 3. Add one track chain to each track. I had 1 extra track included, and some spare ones from remaining builds, but there shouldnt be any issues. You will have one extra track either way, and maybe use one from the decoration on the tank. Elefant will look much more like its supposed to with tracks resting on middle wheels, but not lose enough to fall off.

While it looks pretty good (except for the weird brick camoflage, i wonder when they will finally stop doing that) the quality of the set is def not up to Cobi standarts, i hope that‘s just a single set problem and not Cobi decreasing the quality to save money. However what i wonder is why we already have 2 Panzerjäger Tiger (P) sets and not a single *actual* Tiger (P) set yet

People be complaining that some 1:35 scale models feel too fragile and so Cobi listened by giving 1:28 the same treatment. Let's hope you only got a terrible batch of tracks and this doesn't persist on future models... They did say production issues was why they delayed the standard edition Ferdinands, but conveniently the Limited Editions are ready to ship.

Vielen Dank für dies zeitnahen Video, auch für den Vergleich der Ketten! Ich habe das Problem der sich lösenden Ketten durch ein zusätzliches Kettenglied pro Seite gelöst. Jetzt laufen sie butterweich! Die gesamte Kette sitzt dadurch nur etwas zu locker, das ist aber nur beim Hochheben des Panzers ein Thema! Die Steinequalität ist insgesamt schlechter ( Gußgrate, Klemmkraft, Passform )! Bauschritt 85 hast du ja elegant übergangen!😊. Ein frohes und friedliches 2024. Übrigens, bei der einfachen Version werden auch keine Ketten / Schläuche mitgeliefert. Dadurch wirkt der Panzer "nackt"! Das ist schade!!

Happy new year And good content 🎉🎉

Hi Brickmeet I would love to see your vids with just the sound of the bricks being put together it would be satisfying to watch:D

I’ve noticed the drop in brick and track quality in their latest sets, especially the Jagdtiger and IS-2.

There is the same track problem in Jadtiger set :(

happy new year :D

I cannot confirm it right now, but I'm almost sure, that track piece here is 57919, same as in IS-2 I bought said tank few months ago as my first (in ~20 years) cobi ground vehicle, to see how it is in person. And I had exactly the same problems, tracks were easily hooking up on parts, falling off, it was pretty much immobile. I decided to spend a few minutes trying to fix it. I made sure everything was as in the instructions, I pressed all the parts together as much as possible, I moved idlers and sprockets a little bit away from the chassis to "channel" the tracks more. And it worked, since then I had zero problems with moving this tank. Just now I took it for a spin after some time of sitting on a shelf, still works perfectly, no matter how fast I roll it. Since buying that tank, I got two more - M1A2 and T-72; and when building them, I took special care to set up wheels, skirts etc. as good as I could. I saw opinions about bad tracks in T-72 too - but did not encounter them myself. Not once have they fallen off or hooked up somewhere This is of course only my personal experience with very limited sample size, I cannot speak for everyone. My problems with tracks were not caused by tracks themselves, but rather a bit "fragile" wheel setup, that needed more care. How is it with Ferdinand, I dont know. Maybe but design, maybe bad batch of pieces, or maybe I just got more lucky with mine being better than average. But I think that more opinions are needed here

amazing tank models

Schönes Teil,hoffen wir mal das die Qualität ein Ausreißer bleibt…..hab den Elefant vorbestellt der wird bestimmt besser 😅dir ein gutes neues Jahr und danke für das letzte und deine tollen Videos!Grüße aus der Hauptstadt.

The tracks are just realistic, in order to reflect the reality of German vehicles on the Eastern Front.

happy new year, bro

happy new year man! looking forward to new amazing content :D the first five seconds told me everything i need to know about this set. cobi for the love of god, get your act together... -_-#

С Новым Годом Брик! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Really nice!

Awesome video been waiting for it to come out, next you should do the sdkfz 234/3 stummel

Been waiting on this one

Interessant. Ich hab das Modell selber. Meine Ketten sind super. Keine Probleme im Modell.

very impressive!

amazing

Nice❤❤

Now I see why my IS-2's tracks keep snapping for no obvious reason, that's terrible. Hope they listen and revert back to the old tracks.

Happy new yr 2024!! Would you take the Cada 99A?

Don't worry COBI is just being historically accurate. The real ferdinand had tons of mechanical troubles.

I wonder if this will be coming to Canada, got the IS 2 and JAGDPANTHER for Christmas but this also look really cool and I’ve never seen it before (My tracks where like that on the IS2, every time I drive the would get caught and unhook but the model is still really cool)

I have a King Tiger model, same tracks. Not a single problem with those tracks.

From what im seeing, Im gonna have to chalk this up as an extremely rare Cobi L.

Try putting some clear tape to eliminate the ridges where the tracks catch, might help a bit

I’m starting to wach him

great video! could you do cobi kv2 2731?

Even with the tracks (which is rare I have a kit that just came out and it does not have that) is it worth buying?

Do you have any plans to create a speed build and review of the new Cobi Jagtiger?

Классная модель ,конечно есть недостатки но если их не считать то очень красивая модель❤❤

Besides the tracks its a cool model

Cobi.. was macht ihr denn? Die Ketten gehen gar nicht. Schade, bin mehr Qualität gewöhnt!

How soon until you get the Karas?

Nice video and great looking tank 👍 too bad the tracks are of such poor quality 😢

Good video but can you please do the updated cobi jadtiger

please review the Cobi Vickers A1E1 Independent please :)

Servus und guten Abend @BrickMeet 😊. Erstmal ein gesundes neues Jahr und viel Glück 🍀. Vielen Dank für deine Videos 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻. Ja, dieses Set hat es leider in sich, das habe ich schon auf anderen Kanälen gesehen 😮. Ich sag es hier auch nochmal... Cobi haut in letzter Zeit zu viel Sets raus. Da kann die Qualität schon drunter leiden. Denn das ist nicht Cobi typisch... Eigentlich 😊 P. S. Uhhh, das Problem mit den Ketten ist mir neu... Dabei sind das doch die Großen, die eigentlich immer gut waren 😮und was die Spinatblätter sollen, ist mir auch schleierhaft 😂... Ne Tarnung ist das nicht 😊

at least the tracks are more realistic now haha

@BrickMeet Whats the part number on new trackpiece? Manual is not available online yet but if there was a change, the part number should be different. Can You check? I believe that tracks of this colour should be in panther tank. You could compare.

what about jagdtiger? thanks

Build the Cobi Panavia Tornado

Who know maybe the track problems is a nod to the fact that this tank had terrible times trying to drive under its own power

Dunno why you not complained to cobi as they will replace the entire set of tracks. Cobi policy if it missing or not right we will send a replacement. also seems the tracks are too tight. Still it a vast improvement on old ferdie and elephant. I have old ferdie and it like a brick. Still got to build my L/E. Also be buying Elephant and Ferdie (project Tiger p, needs a Tiger 131 as well).

Please build the su 25 🛐🛐😢

Although its brick bad ,it looks good

Looks like COBI Literally copied Ferdinand Porsche's Idea of the Tiger P chassis. Best of Luck this New years Day to you Brickmeet, your channel will always stand out to me to make Lego Models!

Those tracks spoil what would otherwise be a fantastic model. Ive no love for the Ferdinand as such (sooo many German tanks lately, how about a 1:28 Cromwell or Churchill?!) but I'm really pleased we finally get a turret with space for a crew in addition to a fully assembled gun including the breech. Sadly the track quality issue is a worrying development. Lego costs more and up to now I'd have said Cobi was far better value because they put out better models for less. I would rather Cobi put prices up a bit and retained their quality, rather than try to hold prices and put out inferior parts.

4:00 Unsere Kette wurde beschädigt!!

Cheapened quality on an official Cobi model. You hate to see it. Hope this isn't the new standard as Cobi's usually pretty excellent for the quality, and functionality of their rolling treads. Other than that a very nice/detailed display model to kick off 2024. The side build for motorcycle is also very cool.

Сколько стоит такой конструктор и где его можно купить ?

Hey im sorry i havent been watching your videos as much as i used to. I have 9th grade finals and im in Utah. Im catching back up though and i can buy from a different company to buy COBI in the USA for cheaper shipping.

Now if i play warthunder i know now where is the ammo rack🙂👍

Hear me out. Cobi is making their sets historically accurate, now making the tracks break (What the Porsche tiger had issues with alongside the engineS). Just be happy until it doesn't catch on fire.

oryginalna konstrukcja byla tak zla ze model z klockow sam sie rozpada xd

Eigendlich schaut das Set gut aus - schade um die Qualität eines einiger Teile. So halt nur ein Vitrinenmodell...😅 Das kann Cobi besser.... Gruß

It gives me the impression that Cobi has certain blocks produced in China. That could also explain the delays. In addition, it is noteworthy that the manual states "printed in EU". Why not "made in"? However that's what it says on the box. The Made in the EU label would indicate the product is MAINLY MADE in the European Union. It does not impose an obligation that some parts indeed may come from outside the EU. I have noticed in the past year that block quality has become worse. They clamp heavily or not at all. Cobi should become more transparent in this regard, otherwise it should carry out stricter quality control.

Yea it dose copy quan guan which got the same skin as quan guan maus

You know it's bad when the start of the video is the failures reel ... just ... yikes. This is also really unlike Cobi ... I'm hoping it's just a one-off, but to compare them to Quan Guan (who ... yeah, I know how bad they are) ... that's a bad sign. Maybe I'll hold off a bit on any Cobi pulls this year ......

Ngihs

I have the good track version

Same set number, different brick quality and issues, it is sad in my opinion😢

Idk, but this model has only gun elevation, seems no gun depression. Maybe inaccuate, and gun is the most important thing of tanks

WHAT HAPPENED TO COBI???

*Verwenden Sie einfach Ihre alten Laufflächen, um die neuen zu ersetzen.* Mein Gott. 🤦‍♂️

¿Como puedo conseguirlos si soy de un país latino?🤔

Put it to rice.

B bộ bộ bộ bộ gv bộ. Gv bộ bộ bộ

Happy new year this wasn’t a good tank to end off with

It’s probably just a defective link

I bought it, but I lost the desire to build it after seeing the video... I have many Quanguan sets, none of the Chinese tracks, it has this problem with the new Ferdinand...... -.-

кокда ягтигр

This to unstable ;v

This track design is oldest cobi tracl design, cobi was using those tracks from about 15 years

can't say it's not realistic.

in real porcshe tank has bad track quality in ww2 like yup that tank you have

Irl Ferdinand experience

Its time to vote with our wallets and not buy Cobi anymore. Sick and tired of this practice. Lego is just the same. My new Lego set has 2 shades of white. One shade is normal, the other is transparent white wtf?

Warum Sand Mit Grun Immer 🤷‍♂Das Check Ich UberHaupt Nicht 🤦‍♂🤨Das Ist Doch Kein Camo In Der Wuste, Ein GeBusch Zu Sein 🤣 -Hat Nichts Mit Geld Zu Tun 💁‍♂ Die Wollten Die Ketten Etwas Realistischer - Weicher Machen.

It is terrible for the parts, WHERE YOU HAVE TO PUT THE ROUND CLIPS INTO SQUARE HOLES. I HATE WHEN MY FINGERS FEEL EXTREME PAIN FROM SQUEEZING THE SHARP EDGES OF THE FREAKING CLIP TO INSERT IT INTO A F#CKING SQUARE GAP AND ACHIEVING NO SUCCESS
