El Caracho, do you already have the new cataloque? Some pages (the "important" ones) were posted on facebook in the "Cobi Fans" group. Somebody did get the actual new catalogue from the London toy fair.

Thanks for the link, Gillum! Unfortunately, no surprises are included. Had hoped to find one or the other additonal small set!

Very strange 
For some reason Cobi does not replace the previous release, but instead assigns a new set number for the same model:
3030 Panther Warsaw Uprising
3035 PzKpfw V Panther - Warsaw Uprising
2477 Tiger 131, Sd.Kfz PzKpfw VI Ausf. E
2519 Tiger I 131
And there are now two WoT Tigers on offer in the same catalogue ?!?
3000A Tiger I
3000B Tiger I
And what's with the Bismarck(s) ?!? 4810 Battleship Bismarck (1974 pcs)
4810A Battleship Bismarck (1976 pcs) I haven't even seen the original set 4810 for sale yet, and there's already a 4810A (with 2 parts more)?
Same goes for the Tirpitz:
4809 Battleship Tirpitz (1982 pcs)
4809A Battleship Tirpitz (1984 pcs) What's supposed to be the difference? Did they fix the small holes in the hull by adding two thin 1x2 plates?
Also Cobi seems to have changed the set numbers for the Dakotas, which are now 5701 and 5702 (previously 5548 and 5549)

Did you see the post on Facebook about the C-47? They responded to the feedback about the way the front looked, and are redesigning the part. |

Well, I did confirm that between the render and the previous set that the Warsaw Panther does have changes. The vent covers on the back deck are different colors and there is an extended commander's cupola. There may be other differences, but those two I remember.
Didn't check out the 131 too closely. Just took that on faith that it had changes, but I'm going to check to be sure now.

Yeah, I didn't mean that there are no changes between the old and the new release, there definitely are some, I just meant to say that Cobi normally replaces the old set number with the updated set (and currently started adding letters to it to ensure you get the version you intended to order) But in the case of the Panther and Tiger 131 they release the updated version under a new set number. |

I guess i missed Cobi's official announcement of their new catalague, because i never saw it accept the one from Superbricks.de
Still, the new catalogue is on Cobi's site
And there are even differences between both, because on Cobi's site catalogue their is an actual pic of the B-17 instead of a realtime picture
Also, the Ford maultier is the render replaced for a box-art
What i also saw is a new for 2019 BMW R75 and Bofors gun with no visual changes to be seen....
Maybe we get complete reworked editions? For the BMW i sincierly hope so!! Maybe something to look forward to

Still no new Panzer III or IV God damnit... Indeed. Cobi should release also new versions of StuG III, StuG IV & Jagdpanzer IV with the smaller tracks.
New versions of Su-76 and T-34/76 would be also nice. I hope that Cobi will release the new version of Panzer III in Ausf. L & in only grey bricks.
I failed with my attempt to moc my Panzer III Ausf. L with the smaller tracks because the proportions went wrong. Maybe the next weeks I ´m going to built some StuG IV moc on the Nashorn chassis - should be easier... Unfortunately I don´t have the gun mantled brick and don´t want to take it from my Jagdpanther....

Why does the Panzer IV based set 2514 "Sd.Kfz 166 Sturmpanzer IV Brummbär" not use the same gears as the Panzer IV based sets 2516 "Sd.Kfz 165 Hummel" and 2517 "Sd.Kfz 164 Nashorn"?
 Doesn't the Brummbär now look like he has no drive sprocket at the front, but the idler wheels from the back also at the front? |

yes, why they used the same wheels at the front is a complete mystery to me to..... Besides that a great model though But somehow i don't like those side schurzen either.... Makes it look cheap somehow Guess i'm missing the triple camo |
