Cobi Joins World War Brick: A New Era for Building Fans
All cool studs are welcome at World War Brick and we’re happy to see the family to expand to include more brands and more communities. To this end we are happy to announce that we will have a representative of Cobi brand building bricks on location for the first time in World War Brick history. There will also be a well-stocked Cobi store on location with special deals for WWB Weekend Pass holders and public visitors.
“COBI is the manufacturer of quality building-blocks sets in a variety of themes, from the historically accurate Small Army military replicas to pop culture, video game and automotive licensed products. While initially only well known in Poland and most of Europe, COBI has exploded in popularity in North America recently due to its ever growing and diversifying product line that now includes gorgeous sets of increasing size, exceptional accuracy and widening appeal.”

The Mission Project: World War Brick 2024 Official Charity Fundraiser
Brickmania’s World War Brick event also focuses on giving back to the veteran community, especially at the local level. In 2023, nearly $19,000 was raised for The Mission Project charity, which is a local non-profit committed to mental health, advocacy, reintegration, suicide prevention, camaraderie and fellowship for soldiers and veterans.
Their motto is, “if we all do a little, we can accomplish a lot” – and we agree! The Mission Project is a 100% volunteer effort by people who love our military and its veterans. All of what is raised goes toward the operation of their programs.
You can join in raising these fund by purchasing a World War Brick 2024 – Weekend Pass and participating in the pass holder exclusive charity auction the weekend of the event. This auction is the primary fundraising source aside form the carnival and provides once-a-year access to rare and one-of-a-kind Brickmania collectables, and other memorabilia.

We’re pleased to show these preview pictures of the 2014 event kit: the German 3.7cm Flak 37 anti-aircraft cannon. Every Weekend Pass holder will find on of these guns in their goodie bags… But there’s a catch; the minifigs shown will NOT come with the kit! Instead we are making speciel-edition custom Luftwaffe crewmen for the guns, which you can get in one of two ways: 1.) You can complete a 10×10″ panel of the Cobra King mosaic and get one for FREE our 2.) You will be able to purchase extra crewmen. Some additional kits wand figs will be available for sale at WWB, but they will probably go as fast as last year’s exclusive Jeep kit!
