I am only guessing here, because they are using the old Stinger Body and Chassis in the promo photo suggesting that it was a hastily put together mock up. I also feel that what we assumed to be a weapon holder on the fender, was an illusion.
I'll worry when they put a hold on the FLAK/ CLAW set.

i ordered 6 full cases from BBTs and they're still all good, just checked, and they still have preorders for cases & all single vehicles except the CLAW/FLAK which is sold out. | |

But until hear this happening from others besides EE, I'm not going to think of them as canceled.
Kind of odd that it's only EE so far.
