Tell me about it, it sucks really, all the anticipation of receiving something that has been so higly hyped and then have no idea of when it will show up, it kind of kills the mood, i am about to cancel my order.:-(
Edit, btw this is why i hate pre orders.

This is exactly why I didnt preorder this truck because the release dates are different everywhere you look. I bought Axial axles and trans last week because I needed something to build and tired of waiting.

The release dates are the same. Some just follow directions better than others.

A few have trickled out here and there but it's not technically a "public release".

Tamiya didn't hype everyone..everyone hyped themselves.

Tamiya didn't come up with the National Scale Comp, they only made a decision to be the primary sponsor of Ben's event.

The debut was supposed to be at the Scale Nationals. :?

From the site it looks like it will be at RCX also, which is before the Scale Nationals.

I think Vroomvroom bought his in a public hobbyshop in the Philippines.It must have been a rumor that the US would get this truck first.
