I'll have mine in hand on release day with the updated transmission and I've also ordered some chrome wheels too can't wait is an understatement!

Question for those who have pre-ordered it through Schumacher: Do you have to pay up-front, or do you only pay on release day?

If you pay by PayPal it takes it now if you pay by credit card it takes it when it's shipped apparently. Not to do Schumacher out of trade but if you shop around there cheaper elsewhere the best I've seen is £224.99

True.... Modelsport is nearly always cheaper, but Shumacher will probably be faster!
Besides letting them have all the profit is kind of a thank you for doing this.
Does anybody know if the re re comes with the roller clutch driveshafts? More the point I'm sure everyone is after the TO29 roller hub mouldings...

I've not seen a parts list yet but the pics I've seen of the front end you can't see the rollers at the gearbox but it looks like the shafts are on the wrong way round so they could be at he hub side, also in these pics the rear arms mounts are on upside down too

A few shops are also taking pre-orders for the optional transmission. MB models, and Modelsport come to mind

Adam,
Do you really not still have connections?
I'm thinking it'll be cheaper, and faster for me to order direct from the UK.
No VAT, and even the CDN $ is doing well against the £
I did speak with Robin today, I'll be getting mine through Schuie
