Why did the RYTM MKII just price drop then disappear from Aussie store and out of stock on the Elektron website?

Yeah, it’s almost the Elektron factory price! Either it’s a blip (I hope others don’t copy them) or something is up with the whole supply/demand structure suddenly and they think it’s time to profit from it. On the other hand, if it was an end of line product, it would drop instead of jump in price, I assume. So it’s weird!

Edit: Seems that it’s all just a little bit of history repeating (yeah, Propellerheads reference):
