Gerrie:

For now, it seems to be on sale only in Japan. It was release here in Japan on April 11th - just about a week back. I paid $850 yesterday and saw it in another shop today for $750. BTW - if one uses a credit card then it's 3% more on the tab.

The servos are also about 20% cheaper: I paid $107 for an 8911.

I'll post the address/website/numbers of the cheaper shop on the weekend. Don't have them handy right now.
