Where did you find a super low price below retail for an AC/DC premium? If I can get a deal like that I would buy one! As for the price increase, I also have a WOZLE on order. The new "limited edition" of the 75th anniversary ones are now $9k. I guess since the new models are more money, the unshipped still new original LE's have gone up in value also. Still a lot of money for a pin, but personally I would rather spend $6500 for a brand new one than $6500 for a used beat up TAF. Just my $.02
