Paid $7300 shipped for mine (had to pay tax), but his has about $200 more in factory upgrades + invisiglass, so his would have cost me about $7800 all in (assuming new invisiglass).

RZ is a fun game, but I agree on the code, and it's not just your opinion as there's evidence of extensive plans beyond where the code got to, and unfortunately will likely never be polished in the way that was expected.

ACNC isn't in the same boat at all--it's already a blast with current code, and I see no reason they won't continue to add the item hunt and such that they've planned. Good time to get in and enjoy some co-op (would have loved to have been able to get such a low price).
