People have already gotten a hold of some of the pre-release vehicles. Not to my surprise some have had issues with them working correctly...

I'd love a Schwimmwagon, but to get one down here is so cost prohibitive.
Good on Torro for risking getting these into the market at all, sure is a very niche clientele base.

Those crew figures will soon be stars in truck builds Im sure !

I don't know if this is a "risk", pre-release examples sold like hot cakes. An improvement over the Schwimmwagen is the separate propeller drive and the possibility of reverse while swimming. For me, as I collect US and Lend-Lease vechicles it's a must even if id have issues.
