| (...) Yeah I figured that is what you meant. I have been browsing the Cobi website fairly extensively. That tank is actually pretty nice looking from both a model and parts standpoint. (...) Yeah I would love for them to release those fig packs. (...) (20 years ago, 20-Apr-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

| (...) I agree! I was afraid that they'd go for the Best-Lock proportions of two-plates:one-brick or, even worse, the 6:5 Best-Lock:LEGO brick-height ratio. I'm glad that they sensibly stuck with Cobi's existing proportions. (...) I'm very fond of (...) (20 years ago, 20-Apr-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
