I wonder if there have been some discussion between Cobi the brick company, and Gaijin for partnership. Cobi did it before with World of Tanks, and few month ago with Company of Heroes 3.
But there is something that tell me “Maybe they went for a deal with Gaijin, but CoH3 won at the end”.
Cobi is not lego. Cobi is a Polish company that makes folding models. No need to paint or glue. I assemble cobi myself and I think that their quality in terms of appearance is significantly better than lego.
I’ve just now realised that Cobi is a Polish company… and it could be bad press to have partnership with Gaijin, the russian one.
At least for the moment.
