MakerBot launched in South Africa: pricing and date

Keen to get one - as soon as their price comes below my car's resale value
 
Rectron can go and get knotted in a very unpleasant way.

The retail price of the Mini is around R15k in the states....

I guess at R700/kg Rectron will not sell a lot of filament until consumers realize they can get it for a lot cheaper elsewhere.

even RS electronics is expensive. I am not sure what the difference is between these filaments (apart from pla and abs) but I just bought from the CAD house guys (http://shop.3d-printer.co.za/) and it was R300
 
The appeal of 3D Printing is massive I reckon the printers are just too expensive...!

You can get it cheaper if you import but then local support and warranties could be an issue. And with the exchange rate, shipping and any duties, buying local might be worth it. Will find out in 2 months or so what my printer would cost me in total :)
