If “(somewhat juniorezed)” is still mostly regualar parts, that is okay. If
that means similar to Megabloks Command Ops vehicles, then yikes.

Happily, it appears that I overstated the juniorization. The only
“juniorized” elements are the turret (with moveable gun) and the one-piece
top surface of the tank’s hull, which is a single, sculpted plate. The rest
of the vehicle is made of bricks, plates, wheels, and treads, though!

Here’s a
picture of a similar design from the pre-merger Cobi Small Army line. You can
see the two main “juniorized” elements.

Admittedly I am more interested in the awsome figures, but some of Cobi’s
space sets are pretty sweet. It would be nice if they made figure packs like
Best Lock has done previously. (Assuming they sell them here at all of
course)

A further perusal of the Cobi website reveals at least
one
figure-pack that likewise pre-dates the merger, but it gives me hope about
possible future offerings here in North America! You can also see most of the
accessories I mentioned.
And now a final observation: the 1000-piece set appears to include a
combination of the following kits along with some other elements:
Mustang
Cobra
Comanche
Jaguar (mentioned above)
Dave!

| (...) 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.
