I dont usually like brands that are similair to lego because most of the time the bricks are very cheap and quality doesnt exist but Cobi and their History Collection is an exception because unlike most based-of-of-lego brands it actually has quality and good sets.
Cobi clearly noticed there's huge number of US customers who love military bricks. Now Cobi just needs more sets with American vehicles/aircrafts/ships.
My family is greatly tied to this plane. My great grandmother worked on them during WW2 while my great uncle was a tail gunner on a B-17 that was shot down. The plane spun out of control (I’m assuming from a damaged wing) and he and his crew were forced to bail. He opened his hatch which I’m imagining would be very difficult from the extra g’s from the plane spinning and jumped out, making it out of the plane.
Wow man that’s a very cool thing a bout your family also you should be very impressed by your ancle because the tail gunner was what keep the Germans of the tail of theses war birds

Hey BrickMeet a question since I couldn't see in your video: Do the wings sag when you hold the set in flight? I assume the landing gear keeps them straight when on the ground.
I mean it’s quite expensive! But to be honest cheaper than if lego made it themselves! Official lego is expensive I mean look at other sets the same size as this! It’s cheaper than expected and looks to be great quality, definitely a must buy!
I see tons of pieces that just allow for the model to look smooth once completed, I don’t think LEGO has many of those kinds of pieces~ Edit: I think imma get some of these sets in the future~
@Defrank Kids Nice! Are you into military stuff and the such? I remember myself watching these kinds of documentaries and videos when I was around that age~ My dad’s parental control program on the PC sometimes stopped me from going to weapons’ Wikipedia pages~ XD
Hey Brickmeet. I know I’m commenting on this video 2 years after it’s release but did you know this July of 2023 there’s 2 new b17s coming out? I hope to see them on this channel!
me when i saw the front cover: did they forget the ball gunner on the flying fortress cause that is one of the most important roles for protection (if it was b-29 because the under belly is the most vulnerable on the b- 29 flying fortress in my opinion)
I had this since march i modified it so much 1. i was able to add three guys in the cokpit 2. i added a bomb holder so that the bombs dont fall youll only know if you have one 3. i added a guy in the ball turrent not a full guy i had to take his legs and arms off 4. i made a crew with other pilots i had 5. i added more realistic looking .30 cals (the side gunners) i also put a guy in there in all i like the set i just thought they should have added more pilots and bombs the max bombs u could fit on that is 10 i checked
Nice model, but I noticed 2 inaccuracies. The landing gear folds in the wrong way and the ball turret is retractable. The B-17’s ball turret couldn’t retract. Only the B-24’s could. Still a really good looking model and worth the cost.

I definitely agree
Ok
This. These look really nice. I’d be down for trying some of these.
I wouldn’t really call it a fake LEGO brand, they make things that LEGO doesn’t make. It’s just a different brick company :)
@@froton1115 well i guess your right!

Lol
@@heliboyy3518 It actually happened
i dont think it was suposed to be a reference lol but i do know it actually happened
It's the Brown - Stigler incident.

I wish cobi made it so there’s to pilots in the copit
Just remove the pilot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They should have micro figures like LEGO does for stuff like this.
I wish coby put a color choice for the b17
Renze Andrei Fernando yeah but they have a Memphis belle one

cobi did a great job on every thing ever touch all of it ! they must put hard work on designing these
Hey BrickMeet a question since I couldn't see in your video:

They don't. It's very stable except the 2 bricks in the middle and the hatches on the bottom
@@BrickMeet wow, great to know, thanks. Good design quality.

Yeah good choice b17 for life! I can t wait for this video I m happy you did this

The legendary flying fortress
Nice alternate to military fans who don’t like Lego’s “no violence” rule.
Lego has competition 🤣🤩
Yes and no cobi makes the same thing as LEGO but more versions of things than LEGO and makes special pieces that LEGO dose not
Ehhh Cobi makes very different sets (almost things exclusively lego won't make) so I'd say they're less competition but more so another toy brand
When it takes over a month for you to complete while still on the wings, but this guy does the whole thing in 9 minutes
*ETERNAL SCREAMING*

Flying home...
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ITS TOO REALISTIC
This set makes me want a Cobi B-24 for some reason.
Brickmeet always brings us joy with his videos
pesawat flying fotresnya bagus
One of my favorite bombers of the Second World War, and a great Cobi model
Fun fact( unless someone already said this or you knew this): this is an actual B-17 simply named "Nine-O-Nine"
RIP the real Nine-O-Nine and the victims of the crash
Muito bom seus vídeos parabéns

Isn't the b17 ball gunner is fix in place? The ball gunner that can be retracted is the b24 liberater

NICE BOMBER PLANE
I had this since march i modified it so much
1. i was able to add three guys in the cokpit
2. i added a bomb holder so that the bombs dont fall youll only know if you have one
3. i added a guy in the ball turrent not a full guy i had to take his legs and arms off
4. i made a crew with other pilots i had
5. i added more realistic looking .30 cals (the side gunners) i also put a guy in there
in all i like the set i just thought they should have added more pilots and bombs the max bombs u could fit on that is 10 i checked
WOW!
Nope I got 12 bombs
@@ELIGG15 nice
@@malekitani7262 still major respect to you for getting a dude in the ball turret even if he is cut in half :D
@@ELIGG15 yeah thanks it was difficult but I’ll do anything for the 1944 crew
Finaly you bild this!❤️
This is my favorite kind of plane
Absolutely amazing!
Cool video
I have been waiting for this set and really nice video I have been watching since the start of this channel
Because it looks awesome
This is an awesome build
Guys please hipe him to 100k
Wow very cool i like you and copi lego
Its soooo cool and amazing
Hi brickmeet can you build the lcvp higgins boat i think alot of people will enjoy that
Cobi is far more better than lego
Christ, the second song (Gain) drove me up the wall. Awesome kit though!
I wish they could've done this sooner because now I want this on my bucket list
Why? Did you kick the bucket or something?
Loved it!!!!
so miuch cooler than anything Lego is doing
me: already bought and built the set
also me: watches the speed build anyway
cool build
THIS GOOD😎👍🏻
When I found this will freak out well I won't I will I will I don't know oh I will freak out and build it wow
I wish Cobi would make a PBY Catalina
cobi is the only good Lego knock-off.
bonus points: they're polish, so extra kurwa with every set
Nice b 17 ❤
Me b-17 flying fortress bi fan 💪🙋🙌🙆😉😃😊☺✈
It’s not a plane or a bomber it’s a Freedum Dispensor
Smooth plating ngl
YES YES MY FAVE PLANE OF ALL TIME love you content btw
SO COOL. I LIKE IT.
Man i love B-17
Cobi needs to make the B-24 Liberator
I love cobi
In INDONESIA we say it PLAYING PORTRES
i builded this in plane crazy.... cool!
I don't think that's really so smart but it's really really cool andbig
Is it just me or while you watch this you blink more often
Egg Wheat infinite flight oh ya
well thanks now I'm blinking manually
My worst nightmare from playing Roblox Plane Crazy
You should do a air battle animation with this tho
You are making some fire videos my man
sometimes cobi is better than lego (millitary sets)
Edit:Thank you for the heart
Well, their "Youngtimer Collection" series is pretty cool too!
The only lego brand I know that makes these military stuffs is Brickmania and their toys are so fricking expensive.
Nice build!
Pls next is modern leopard plsss
Now Cobi just needs to make a b-29
Its simply too big and it would look stupid because of such scale down
it's beautiful
🅱️１７のレゴ
いいね🎉👍😊
Cool
mine too! I love b 17 bombers
*when a lego rip-off is much better than the original lego*
Its not quite as good as the Brickmania B-17, but its also not a 1,000$ kit that scales perfectly to the figures.
Nice bomber
O ye them thicc wings
Nice model, but I noticed 2 inaccuracies. The landing gear folds in the wrong way and the ball turret is retractable. The B-17’s ball turret couldn’t retract. Only the B-24’s could. Still a really good looking model and worth the cost.
The B-17's ball turret doesn't retract, only the B-25's does.
finally the update i've been waiting for your video
wow good
Since lego can’t sell real military vehicle sets, COBI has filled the void
I ordered 1 of these
This just reminded me of menphis bell
Im getting this today
Guys lets do a #giveuslegoWW2planes and blow it up for lego to make them.
That's a big boy
I hella want this set
