I'm looking at these tanks and trying to figure out why the camo painted one is 50+ dollars more as listed on the top color selection tab and only 5+ dollars more on the bottom color selection tab. This is the Toucan Site version. (needs that John Travolta looking side to side in confusion gif)

Mac1962: Here in the U.S. I ordered one via Toucan Hobby. It will come from China, so it may take a while, but I can show photos when it arrives. By then, however, many of you around more civilized parts of the world will have these in hand.

Cheers Professor. Do have a price. Tongtal is asking $200 aud postage which almost doubles price. Cheers Recruit Mac.

Give it a couple of weeks. If you look at Aliexpress/Banggood etc the pre-order price is high to cater for the impatient and improves significantly once supply settles down.

Good Morning,
A Christmas Gift from the Mate. I ordered the base color version of this tank with metal running gear. I was pleased with how solid the TongDe Churchill was with an accurate set of running gear so I feel upbeat about the Matilda. Happy Holidays All!
regards,
Painless

RobW: I wondered about just what you say. The Toucan U.S. price was right in line with the other Tongde RTR tanks, even those from before the days of tariffs on everything (including shipments from an island occupied only by penguins).
