Building block buying help

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these airplane blocks compatible with Lego?

Yes. Every airplane building block set in this collection is compatible with Lego and other leading brick brands, so the pieces connect with bricks you already own. That makes them a good fit for builders who want to expand an existing collection, and a popular choice among adults looking for high-detail, off-brand brick sets that still work with standard parts.

What is the difference between blocks, bricks, and building sets?

They are different names for the same thing. Some shoppers search for airplane blocks, others for plane bricks or building sets, but all describe snap-together construction kits that build into an aircraft. Whatever you call them, the sets in this collection assemble into detailed military and civilian airplanes that double as display pieces once finished.

What age are airplane building blocks for?

It depends on the set. Smaller Brixies kits, such as the postcard helicopter and astronaut, are designed for ages 3 and up. Larger Cobi sets like the SR-71 Blackbird and A-10 Warthog have higher piece counts and finer detail, which makes them better suited to older children, teens, and adult hobbyists who enjoy a longer, more involved build.

What Cobi sets do you carry?

Our Cobi lineup focuses on aircraft, including the Top Gun Maverick F/A-18E Super Hornet, the P-51D Mustang, the B-17F Memphis Belle, the F6F Hellcat, the TBF Avenger, the A-10 Warthog, the T-6 Texan II in USAF and US Navy markings, and the large SR-71 Blackbird. Cobi creative building block sets are known for accurate detailing and solid, Lego-compatible construction.

Are airplane block sets a good gift for an aviation fan?

They are one of our most popular gifts for kids and adult enthusiasts alike. A block set of a favorite warbird or jet gives the recipient something to build, then display, which makes it more memorable than a typical toy.
