COBIHistorical Collection World War II Iowa-Class Battleship, 4-in-1 Executive Edition, 2685 pieces

The set is very detailed and definitely worth it for the price.It took me a while to build but the level of detail is amazing but I expected that with a high level set!With so many pieces you'd think that parts would be missing but there isn't a single missing piece, and the instructions can be a little confusing sometimes the actual building is satisfying feeling just as good as regular Lego.

This is a well put together set with a solid build and good set of instructions. Final product looks great. Only issue I had is that many of the smallest pieces of the hull look similar with either a flat angle or curved angle and it is difficult to see in the instructions which is the correct piece often requiring a partial tear down and rebuild. Overall I’m very happy with end result.

Brick quality is 95% that of name brand. Build quality was honestly better. Tons of detail, sturdy construction. Came out bigger than I anticipated but thats not a bad thing.

Product is high quality, tolerances on the bricks are tight and the ink print on the bricks creates a much better aesthetic than stickers.Directions are confusing, often having you work on multiple areas of the build simultaneously leading to parts of steps being skipped. Patience and an eye for detail is needed.Some parts are very similar and it can create confusion while building the set, but the complexity is necessary for a smooth and high quality build; tapered bricks have multiple angles on them.All parts were present and extra detail bricks, including painted bricks, are given for all three of Iowa's sister ships.Highly recommend this set to teens and adults trying to build a historical collection, but parents should be considerate if buying this for a child; they may need help with the instructions if they're building alone, but it's perfect if you're looking for something to build together!

Great product! I was a little skeptical about how well the quality would be in terms of how well the individual pieces would snap and stay together (and also pull apart if I had to correct something), but I was impressed with the manufacturing precision and the finished build. The two assembly guide books were easy to follow with one minor exception: it was a little hard to distinguish the difference between the black and dark gray illustrations and with many pieces being identical except for color you could easily mistake one for the other. To make the build easier for myself I sub-grouped all the pieces in each of the 8 bags to make them easier to find when needed. The pieces are very smooth and easily slip out of your fingers when maneuvering them into place and with some of the pieces being very tiny they bounce off the table and onto the floor so I wouldn't recommend doing the build in a room that has carpeted flooring because you'll never find the tiny pieces again.

This is very detailed and large. Some of the pieces were stubborn going together. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Had a few pieces that were missing but nothing major just minor detail pieces that wouldn't be obviously noticed.

What an amazing build. I'm always wary of off-brand bricks but this one knocks it out of the park and in some ways its better than the Lego brand. Took an estimated 6 to 8 hours to build, easy to understand instructions, and I love the historical data they included in the instructions and one of the name plates. No stickers is a plus. And being able to switch out which Iowa class battleship you want to display is icing on the cake (I chose the Missouri, BB-63).My son was disappointed when I put it in my display case because he wants to play with it. Well Christmas is coming up, so I wouldn't hesitate to get this for him. I'm really glad I got this Iowa class battleship, the only thing that dwarfs it is the Super Star Destroyer by Mould King (3 week build, 8,000+ pieces and alo highly recommended).There's a few pieces in this build that are of similar shape but slightly different that if you're not paying attention won't look or feel right. The instructions clearly note the difference in the similar pieces. So make sure you take note of them.With large builds like this they tend to often be flimsy or weak in spots, but not with this. Picking it up felt hefty and solid. You're going to love building it, displaying it, and playing with it.

Hands down the most realistic scale block model of the Iowa Class Battleships. Cobi is in a brick league of their own when it comes to realistic brick models. Perfect scale with impressive detail, it is built like a literal brick house which adds to the amazement while building. Get it, you want it don’t wait. It’s too enjoyable of a project and even more so when complete. Totally worth it.
