Really nice experience with BrickTanks

Really nice experience with BrickTanks. Delivery was super quick and they even included a handwritten thank-you note, which was a great touch. Will definitely be ordering from them again and getting surprise gifts for myself

Excellent range and great customer service

I have been using Bricktanks for 6 years now even though I have no interest in brick tanks! They also do aircraft, cars, space rockets and other military with a range of quality brands covering models from lots of eras. Regular great blog featuring upcoming models from Cobi and associated stories. They also have a reward scheme that is well worth signing up to. Orders always despatched within one working day.

All That's Good About Small Businesses

Brick Tanks represent all that's good about small businesses, especially with regards to customer care. Nothing is too much trouble for them when it comes to ensuring customer service is second to none. They offer a huge range of products at great prices, and communication is great. Altogether, highly recommended.

Essentially the home of Cobi

If you're in need of anything Cobi, Sluban or Buildarmy this is your shop; I cannot recommend them enough. With fair prices, free next day delivery to the UK*, friendly customer service and a really wide range of stock, I really don't think there's anywhere better
