Re: Torro Schwimmwagen Price?
Just noticed that there is a pre-order open for the schwimmwagen over on the torro site, looks like it is 179€,
Cheers, Lee.
Edit, available the end of November apparently

Let's just hope they turn out to be more reliable than Hooben.

The same price as their m16 half track, they don't state whether or show if the schwimmwagen comes with any figures though which the m16 does

No worries, Hooben doesn't have anything to do with this one, they only supply the Elefant. This is from the same factory making Torro & Taigen's tanks.Max-U52 wrote:Let's just hope they turn out to be more reliable than Hooben.

Re: Torro Schwimmwagen Price?
Question being, out of those three options, which one is the most historically accurate?

Re: Torro Schwimmwagen Price?
Seriously doubt that since its not mentioned or shown in their marketing info nor website. Also since Torro offers 1/16 figures separately, it adds more to their bottom line. Lastly, this new release is from a different supplier than the M16 which is made by Trumpeter/WSN.Model Builder 4 wrote:The same price as their m16 half track, they don't state whether or show if the schwimmwagen comes with any figures though which the m16 does

Re: Torro Schwimmwagen Price?
Will be interesting to see how well this sells considering the price, all plastic construction with rubber tyres, its nice to see companies making an effort to cater for our needs of military vehicles but just take a look on Ebay at the ( toy grade ) rc vehicles on there of all scales and the low cost of them, in my own opinion I don't think 179€ plus shipping ( I imagine ) for what you get is a reasonable price, time will tell and maybe it will be a best seller but just sharing my views

Re: Torro Schwimmwagen Price?
I agree with you Lee, it's the same price as the M16 with less manufacturing costs. But, what's the alternative?Model Builder 4 wrote:Will be interesting to see how well this sells considering the price, all plastic construction with rubber tyres, its nice to see companies making an effort to cater for our needs of military vehicles but just take a look on Ebay at the ( toy grade ) rc vehicles on there of all scales and the low cost of them, in my own opinion I don't think 179€ plus shipping ( I imagine ) for what you get is a reasonable price, time will tell and maybe it will be a best seller but just sharing my views

I just wished they'd focussed on German half tracks.

Re: Torro Schwimmwagen Price?
X Sailor's link didn't work (for me, anyway), but here's the pre-order link and, yes, it is 179 Euros.
