Shipping update: Last minute orders & COBI delivery
We're just packing up the last orders of the day (Monday 22nd December). The cut off for today only is 2.30pm, so I wanted to give you an update, plus a sneak peak at some exciting new kits due for release in 2026!
We had two deliveries arrive last week — one from Sluban and another from COBI. All pre-orders and back-orders from these shipments should now be on their way, or hopefully already with you.

Final COBI order of the year
This shipment left Poland last Tuesday as planned but unfortunately appears to have got stuck in Germany as of yesterday (Monday). Based on the latest tracking information, it looks as though it may not move on again until 5th January.
Therefore, it is very unlikely that any Olympic, Bismarck, or Tirpitz pre-orders will arrive before then. Sorry, we know this is disappointing, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding.
Pre-orders due in stock 7 - 9 January
On a more positive note, this COBI shipment also includes a batch of 2026 COBI calendars, which we’re giving away free on orders of £35+. If you would like one please wait until they are in stock and then add them to your order. If you have a pre-order or back-order arriving in early January and you would like a calendar, let us know and we’ll be happy to manually add it to your order.
Finally, if you’ve left it a little too late for a physical gift to arrive in time for Christmas, we also offer e-vouchers, which are delivered instantly by email and make an ideal last-minute gift option. 🎄
Good news! We will still be answering emails and shipping orders between Christmas and New Year.
Finally, on behalf of the team here at BrickTanks, I would like to thank you for supporting our small business this year. From sharing your fantastic photos of built models, inspiring MOCs and dioramas to product reviews, and of course, choosing to buy your COBI and Sluban kits from us.
We wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year!
