I see that robot kingdom has put up a preorder on their site for 159.99. Are they the first to put a price to it?
They are, but RK are known for jacking up the price on things a bit, so odds are that won't be the RRP. BBTS will (hopefully) probably put it up for less. I'm guessing perhaps around $100/$110? Hopefully it'll be around that
^ Yeah, that'd make more sense. 2 Voyagers = $25 x 2, 3 deluxes = $15 x 3 ... That's 95 dollars. Some deluxes are sold for more, so let's just add a couple, I could see this being 100-120. 150 would be my maximum.
RK tend to sell US product for more because they have to import it, and then send it back to us where it started (sort of). When they sell Asian market stuff (including pretty much anything Takara) it's cheaper than it goes for here (although the shipping sometimes puts it close to the same total price). The fact that this is US product is the biggest reason I haven't jumped on these from RK yet. I suspect BBTS will be cheaper. You would hope BBTS would get plenty, but they've had such problems with stock this time out I've purchased most everything I would normally have gotten from BBTS from RK.
