COBI typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the product packaging or COBI's official website for specific warranty details.
Ensure blocks are correctly aligned and pressed firmly. Check for any debris or imperfections on the connection studs or holes.
Carefully re-check the packaging and all build stages. Contact COBI customer support for assistance with replacement parts.
Verify that all connections are secure and that the build order followed the instructions precisely. Loose connections at the base or structural points can cause instability.
This is rare, but if noted upon opening, contact customer support. Avoid touching printed areas excessively during assembly.
Setup: The primary setup involves the assembly process. Follow the included illustrated instructions meticulously. Sort blocks by color or type before beginning to streamline the building process. Ensure a clean, flat surface for construction.
Compatibility: COBI blocks are generally compatible with other leading brands of construction blocks, allowing for potential customization or integration with existing collections. However, for the intended aesthetic and structural integrity of the Bismarck model, using only the included COBI blocks is recommended.
Care: To maintain the model's appearance, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a specialized model dusting brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the plastic and printed details. Store the model away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
