That's due, in part, to Gaim Kiwami being a retail release while the two-pack is a web exclusive. Their prices on non-Bluefin web exclusives that they actually have to import has always been really pricey.

With Drive & Chaser, presumably they're not sure they can actually get any? With Bluefin unable to acquire the license for Gaim (and unable/unwilling to get the Drive license, since they're dropping toku-related Figuarts anyways), they're left importing them directly like web exclusives and they haven't always had the best of luck for non-Bluefin stuff they have to acquire themselves. For a long time any of their Showa Ultra-Act listings were taken with a grain of salt since they wouldn't always be able to fulfill them (until legal roadblocks were cleared and Bluefin could get them).
