I had not seen this posted.
I am checking it out right now, it's cool for being so tiny

Edit:
It's around US$114 + shipping costs

There are some other models too, including a couple Single Cabs and at least one Panel:

I see a bunch of them on eBay too if you search Carson 1/87 VW

if you have a split bus already, then $100 is nothing.

True... for some stuff.

I spent $300+ on my Bus a couple days ago and this little remote Bus seems like too much to me

Agreed, shelling out $ to make my bus better in some way seems like a worthwhile expenditure most of the time, a little toy someone may step on, or I'll have to pay a veterinarian even bigger bucks to extract from the dog's innards isn't something I need that bad (although it is a cool little gadget).

Reminds me of the old Zip Zaps... same concept and scale... I’ve still got two Herbies... still work. Probably about 15 years old.
