Rumors of Future Releases

Found this on Amazon.

Amazon.com: HOOBEN 1/16 Opel Blitz WWII German 3T Medium-Duty Truck RC Model RTR No. S6809R : Arts, Crafts & Sewing

How did you find it?? Hooben Store is NOT currently offering this truck for sale.

You can still find the listing at twin-house.de for €408. No information on inventory. It sounds like an older high end all metal truck design. It lost it appeal because there are so many 1/16 scale military truck on the market for well under USD$100. Not a good candidate for future release.

kellau I was surfing Amazon and stumbled upon it. Doesn't the Hooben line have a poor rating in general?

Yes. Bad. Bad response to questions. Bad customer service. Bad for getting part replacements. Bad for taking money and delivering years later or never. David has had a different experience than most, but I'd say he's part of the 1% that has had good experiences with Hooben.

Yeah! I happened to have a good rep who took care of my many orders (including parts replacement) accordingly.
