Boy , you sure are a ray of sunshine.

. A bunch of people who know nothing about the production cycle go online and make claims, and then somehow the manufactures get blamed for being so slow. Truth is nothing official comes from Heng Long or Mato until the stuff is leaving their factory door. The rest is wild speculation done by ravenous customers. Myself included about the April date. No one from Mato or Matorro has made delivery claims. Mato said nothing about the Jagdpanther until stuff was being shipped out the door. THen it went up on the website with a deliverydate of mid February, which in fact they beat. Some dealers went online and started taking orders, but that is not the fault of the manufacturer.

There are 16 Sherman based tanks in the pipeline. Depending on how each one sells they'll release them all. The Mato Toys Sherman in the photos isn't how the final release will look (they're still looking into making the front better).
There is also a rumour that Heng Long will be doing there own Sherman so it looks like the allies will finally be able to out number ther axis powers.
