I'm in the same boat -- mines cancelled.
Maybe I'll have better luck getting a Cougar.

I haven't seen anything definite about when US orders for the Mid will be satisfied, has anyone else? :?:

I still have my order in with Amain from Feb this year but I saw someone saying US deliveries might not be until September now...although this is unverified. Seems crazy that the rest of the world are already building and running theirs but this market doesn't even know when it's going to arrive?!?!? :?

Cheers, Paul

September is nuts. That’s insane that they would take that long to fulfill. I’d be curious to hear the excuse.

I think its Tower that's claiming the next shipment will be September 2022. At this point, I don't trust the 2022 part. Could be '23 or '24. Hopefully it comes before Russia launches us into nuclear war, lol.

Amain took my Cougar order. Hopefully the US gets them this month along with the UK. I don't know that I have the patience to wait for September like with the Mid. I already spent several hundred $$$ on upgrades, spares, and electrics. :?

To be honest, I'm finished preordering toy cars.
I'll buy one if and when they are in stock and if not, well then I didn't get my toy car.
Either way, I'm sure I'll survive.

I gave up on this car and got my money back from Amain to buy mini Jrx2s. Losi’s rollout has been perfect except for the hats. There are plenty of Jrx2s out there to buy and spare parts already. Kyosho could learn a thing or two..

Thanks for the heads up Mike.
I've ordered from Kyoshoamerica.com a set of wheels, a body and a bumper to spruce-up my old runner car.
