Had another thought for BNIB prices going up other than the Aus $$.

People ordering sight unseen LE limited number editions just to get one & not miss out.
Stern must think they are on a Gold mine here.

I reckon the instant sold out 500 or 1000 units press without people seeing it causes the Pro stock & Premium stock to be also revalued by the money men at Stern.

This happens in any industry where demand massively outstrips supply.
The r tier system gives choice but is a cash cow.
HSV in AUSTRALIA has been doing this for twenty years and still it sells cars at crazy prices sight unseen so people don't miss out. Ford just did it with Mustang.

The LE prices are driving higher prices.
If their weren't Pro models to keep pricing somewhat realistic for operators and other home use only folks, the eradication of the three tier system would price the majority of us out of the game.

JJP has one model at LE and it's the price now of a body organ.
They need a Pro version badly.
