From Steven's Int'l: Release date is Feb 08, MSRP is $150.00

I have heard this may be a typo and it is in the $120 range instead, but I am not sure.

You tell me . If it's on their website it means that Trumpy fulfills release batch and then it will hit shelves. Roughly one month til it becomes available in US, IMHO. I'm sure price will vary fro about 98 dollars to its MSRP. Sadly, this kit may not be as detailed and accurate as anticipated, but at least there is now basis for them to deliver logistics trucks and tactical missile launchers, maybe even Uragan MLRS some day, in the future.

Does ucraine use this transporter too?

Nah. I rather save for another T-80U buid ,now that SP D is going to do the upper hull. Recently, I recieved my copy of M-Hobby magazine with PT-76 monography and, boy o boy, Trumpeter must be slacking off a lot when they did their homework on that tank. Hopefully, their BMPs and 62s will be better. Ukraine should have these movers from Soviet times, but I never saw one.

Stop showing off Barv, you're making me all itchy!

Looking forward to buying about 10 of these kits over the years...lots of tanks to haul.

Looks like a good kit. Is it just me or are kits getting bigger and bigger in 1/35 scale: Dora, Locumotive, Chinook etc. Anyway good news none the less

I wonder if this one would be able to take two BMDs on its trailer.....

Thanks for the update, George
