Strangely enough, transportation costs are still high (I've seen it in the news media quite a few times). I am not 100% certain why, but suspect that they never bothered to adjust their rates after gas prices fell.
Off-Topic: It's a fairly well-established trend that most companies are quick to raise prices but slow to lower them. After all, consider the span of time it takes for gas prices to go up and then how long it usually takes for them to drop once the price of oil goes back down. There's also the matter of inflation, but that's a horse of an entirely different color.
Yes, the catalog includes color cover art for both. If I can figure out how to post images, I will scan and post. Remember, cover art often changes between catalog and release.
Attached are the scans from the catalog. You can decide whether they are awesome or not.
