So am I the only one in the US still waiting (since June 10) for the re-re Cougar? I see several US residents on FB have them, even those who didn't get one from the first batch.

On a side note, it is awfully quiet here in the Schumacher section....

I finally received mine a couple weeks back (aug 12) from my order placed with Amain on June 28th. I am gold level. Not sure if that helps.

I figured that you'd be platinum.

True story - this is Jeff when dealing with Amain...

I barely buy anything from Amain. Preorders and items I can use their coupons on are about it

My last Amain order had sales tax added in. It has been nice for a while still being able to order without that tacked on. At least shipping is still cheap with them.

Same here, which is why I can't get them to send me a Cougar Even though I was on the list on the first morning, it doesn't matter as I my status is "lead" or "pooh" or whatever the lowest is.

Ironically, since I ordered 2 kits, all of the electrics for one, and every spare part on offer, if they ever ship my order my status will jump up and it won't help because I am cheesed off enough to never order again

I am in Schumacher purgatory.

I buy a ton from Amain for my racer and my son's racer. I have been platinum status for along time.

Buy me a Cougar then! j/k

I need to order one for myself then I will order yours

You won't like it. They are terrible.

just saying that so you don't push me down the list even further

Hopefully it won’t be for long just getting together some projects and have a few updates to do on some previous buggies as well.


Hopefully you’re re re will turn up soon, they are pretty close to the original buggy, only real difference I’ve seen so far is the front tower is lower that the original due to the shorter ball joint (rose joint) on the bottom of the shocks.

Looking forward to seeing them!

I have enough NIP spare parts to build another Top Cat. If at least 1 re-re Cougar doesn't show up soon I will shop for a Cougar front end and body.

Also been doing some drawings for multiple front and rear towers for the cougar shotgun and cougar 2 just need to get them in a file format to get them cut

Amain told me yesterday that they expect to have more Cougars in late October. It is possible they just said that to get a break from me asking every couple of days. It won't work.
