Yeah, I’m keen, and it’s only 55$NZ, too. On preorder.

I see the turret has no APS of the earlier iteration, I wonder whether the mine rollers will be available separately?

Hmmmmm...you think I should keep my Meng Merk 4 with Trophy, and hope for a separate roller kit (I just noticed this new kit does not have the Trophy system as far as I can tell)?

This is indeed a non-Trophy variant. The Nochri-Kal mine roller can be applied on both, but if you want a Droid equipped Mk.4, this is the one to get as Mk.4Ms (i.e. Trophy equipped) never have them.

Given that Meng released their earlier mine roller separately, they may well do the same with this;

Reading Meng's blurbs on this elsewhere on the net, there is a hint at yet more IDF subjects being released, which can only be good news. I'm thinking Eitan, Perah, Namer.

Found these little jewels...and attached to Mk 4 Trophy's. All I would need now is an individual released roller kit!

There are plenty of those. Just make sure you apply the correct camouflage on them for the Golan Heights.
