Great minis. Confusing rules (for the starter set). Why is the retail price $16 dollars higher on Paizo.com than anywhere else?

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.

Actually Rackham sells it for $80 on their website.

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.
