They can likely negotiate any deal they want with a reseller. It's a completely different industry, but Apple does this. They have a M.A.P. - Minimum Advertised Price. Resellers are not allowed to advertise below it.
If I'm not mistaken, the price of Protector was the same across the three as well:
$83 Protector
$10 Sidearm
$90 Both

BBTS has put CA-03 Thundershred up for pre order for $47.99
Release date is June
now to speculate on what RK's price will be.

Definite buy. Hopefully RK does not drop the ball this time and has it for slightly less than the U.S prices...
Either way.. I will buy this. Slightly annoyed for the separate releases...having to pay shipping for each item sucks. RK really need a POL system.

They will actually do this if you ask them. I had a box in their warehouse for months that I asked them to hold while continuously adding new releases to it (also, they only asked for payment of the new TF and forgot about the added shipping)Originally Posted by gdmetro

Instabuy!
I'll be getting each one of these and I too hope that RK gets them for a price equal to or less than BBTS's.
On the POL front, whilst it would be really awesome if they did, I don't see it happening any time soon considering they're having a hard enough time coping with the sheer amount of orders they've got now.
I can't wait to see some coloured pics of these guys, I presume they'll be shown off at Botcon as like the Not-Rodimus Prime 'Protector' upgrade set was last year.

they have it for $46.99 wow a whole dollar less!
what is up with the price difference? I thought it was supposed to be much cheaper from RK because of being situated in HK and therefore less expensive to stock.

I firmly believe that FP is setting, if not heavily influencing, the price.
