I wouldn't put a whole lot of faith into that. I am a dealer with Stevens International, whom are the US importer for Trumpeter. I have notices of Trumpeter releases from now until June, and none of these are on them.
I could see these being the July releases, other than the Stryker Engineering vehicle, as they have never announced such a thing, and is basically a line drawing.

Indeed.
While I am excited to see the possible new releases, I won't be holding my breath for them. Waiting for Trumpeter's T-62 nearly killed me.

Scott is absolutely correct. Occasionally Trumpeter MAY bring out something which was 'unexpected' but they DO tend to follow a logical release program.
Images of virtually ALL their WiPs can be seen here, neither the LAV not the Stryker has been given to us. Possibly July (or even later).

I figured May in Asia and give them a month or two to get over here, so July is my guess as the earliest it may be on the shelves in North America.
So I'll be keeping an eye around here or on Cybermodeler for news from Stevens Int'l

Hmm, for the BMP-3 I read some time ago, that the boxart for this one was changed.
But on the webpage, there is the same boxart as some years ago.
The discussion in that topic was a possible change of some parts including some wheels.
But also I read, that we will see more than 3 versions of this vehicle!
greetings...

Does it mean, that the shown BMP-3 (00364) has 2 different (front)wheels as a choice for the modeler?
As I see on the photos and the boxart, the "frontweels" are different.
(I donīt have the name for these)

Thanks for the answer. Is there planned to show the new boxart for this one or is this the final?
By the way, I collect boxart-drawings!
