That is a great question. *86.40 is still $6.40 more than list price elsewhere...not much of a savings...
I suspect that this product is "net priced," which means that the manufacturer doesn't actually publish a suggested retail price in dollars, so we have to sort of reverse-engineer it from other data we get from our distributor. We'll have to look into it.

Rackham and Fantasy Flight don't set MSRPs for their products. Instead, they sell it to distribution at a net price as Vic says above. They can afford to mark up the products to a lower price, because they manufacture the products. Unfortunately, that doesn't help the rest of us stay in business. If they set a MSRP and sold to distribution as a discount from that, then it would be very easy for us to match their price.
