I know right!
I got to play it back in September and I can't wait for it's release in November.

On the topic of the Pin Ultimate Edition very clear details have been released:
http://playxbla.com/killer-instinct-...in-a-nutshell/
so according to that you'll be able to outright buy any of the pins for $15 a pop as they're unveiled. (so since there are 14 pins not included with the set you're looking at $210 before shipping costs for the whole set
)
Apparently the only way to get the character pins is the buy them (there are 8 character pins and 1 is included) there are 8 "Engagement" pins and these can be earned for free by completing in-game challenges or attending events (apparently you still have to pay shipping though) once again the first of these pins in included in the set so you really only have to earn 7 of them.
So if you can accomplish all 7 challenges then you're STILL looking at $105 to buy all of the character pins before shipping.
Honestly I would have expected the pins to cost half as much , and I would have appreciated if all 14 of the non-included pins were "engagement" pins that had to be earned and not just bought outright.
EDIT: I just checked out the Penny Arcade online store and the pins there average about $6 a pin (
http://store.penny-arcade.com/search?q=Pin), which I think is fair... so my guess is either the $15 is just the "Suggested" retail price and they'll actually be cheaper. or MS wants a huge pile of cash for licensing fees more than doubling the price of the pins.
