Should check out the Sazabi ver.ka or MGEX Unicorn boxes.

Is the MG sazabi being discontinued or something? I’ve noticed it jumped in price everywhere just in the last week

Stuff goes in and out of print all the time. Once stock starts to run low, reseller prices go up. When there's a reprint, prices come back down. And as the other use mentioned, Bandai also announced some price hikes. If all of the big retailers have something at the same price, my guess is that it's the latter. If the big retailers have spotty stock, it's probably the former.

No idea. Bandai has announced price increases on various kits (varies, but most around 10%), so maybe that's affecting Sazabi.

I really want an MGEX unicorn, but the wife says “that’s too much money for a plastic robot”

She's not wrong, lol. I got mine for 20% off retail and it was still a ton.

It’s floating around $250-300 USD. It’s hard to justify dropping that much on a hobby in one hit.

I grabbed it for my spouse on sale at like $100. I think it was the tail end of the original print. For that money you can get a PGU.
