This is information from Torro GmbH.
Dear customers,the good news, the VW T166 swimming cars have been produced and are currently waiting to be shipped from the manufacturing plant to our German dispatch warehouse. Unfortunately we have to ask you for a few more days because the tiresome Corona issue also affects our efforts to deliver your desired model as soon as possible.Understandably, medical goods such as e.g. Masks, protective clothing etc. are prioritized for air freight and so we have to wait until we are allocated free cargo capacities.Lt. According to our current information, this will be the case from May 6th at the earliest, so if everything goes smoothly, the shipment could be delivered to our warehouse by Friday May 15th, and the shipment will start from Monday May 18th and end of May in accordance with the order received be finished. Until then, we ask you to refrain from inquiries regarding delivery times, thank you!We are very proud, despite the extremely complex production and restrictions caused by Corona, to be able to send you our RC swimming car model in 1/16 scale shortly.We would like to apologize again for the waiting time and wish you a lot of pleasure with your model (s).

Good to see KY/Torro got their act together but think I'll wait for a 1/6 version to appear one day. We're having far too much fun driving the new Willys MB to go back to 1/16 for such a small size vehicle. 8)

Weren't they originally $269 u.s.? At the discount price I might go ahead and order one once they start shipping. What I'm really waiting for is for Dragon to re-release the 1/6 schwimmwagen kit. That should be any day now, I think the only thing holding them up is the stupid Coronavirus.

The site says they're on offer, reduced from €199.95

And that's just under $220 U.S.

Yeah, I think I got confused with the 1:6 scale jeep that cost $269.

Or it might be that with the $75 shipping mine was close to 270.

And unfortunately for me, I don't think Imex is going to be carrying these so we might not be able to get them in the states. We might be stuck with that horrendous shipping fee.
