Everything I have heard points at a December release. Just in time for Christmas.

It isn't December yet.

We shall see.

Dear Santa,

I've been pretty good this year and I want a new Dragon Abrams. Honest Santa, I've been good, please don't listen to:
My wife
My kids
My co-workers
or anyone who says I wasn't good!

Just listen to me and PLEASE bring me a couple of new Dragon Abrams!

Jim

PS Please ask the Dragon Elves to knock out some Gen2 OIF Figures!

If you mean the test shots that were shown early this year on some hobby show, they were not test shots of M1A1AIM kit. These were just slightly modified parts from M1 Panther II kit. Since then decision was made to completely redesign the kit and first test shots of parts from this new design were made only a couple of weeks ago.

As Gino wrote there is a chance the kit will be released in December, but DML deliberately delays the announcement of the release date to avoid the need to change it later...

Don't worry Cookie I'm looking for a M1A2 Abrams so we're going to have to wait paitiently "Till the Cows come home" or in this case Until DML releases that kit.

You are in the Know here mate

Will the new M1 Abrams be under my family christmas tree for or in the January sales.

I am hearing that Dragon are planning some other modern kits in the near future any info on these.
