Its around 92 USD actually. But that's excluding the shipping price.

I think Hayate is expensive for a reason. That it is a 1/7 scale figure + it comes with a mini Reinforce. Well, at the least the build quality is good and she looks really stunning and detailed.

I expect nothing less than a RM350+ figure

Hmm, about PA preorder...If using Paypal, PA will deduct the amount from ur account upon ordering (if i'm not mistaken). When they deduct it, the items was already considered fully paid. Therefore, even if the price different from during the preorder, you dont have to pay the remainder. Different for credit card though (I think).
About XL preorder, you only pay RM 50 for preorder right? Therefore, XL can change the final price, since you didnt paid full.

I saw a queen's blade figure in XL shop yesterday... but not really to my liking

Unless you order online. XL shop charges you the full price and demands you to pay it all right now when you preorder something from them...

XL-shop better had enough stocks of the upcoming GSC Miku that I've paid in full months ago to fulfill my order for it (╬ ಠ益ಠ)

For CC at PA it's still the same, the price will be the same as when you preorder, they cannot suddenly charge you higher.
For XL you only need to pay the full price when buying online, preordering at their shop required RM50 deposit, I think as long as you preorder before the deadline and pay the RM50 you get the preorder price.

deejay was asking why after the figure is released(in PA), the price is $10 higher than when the figure was still for preorder..

They change it last minute. But people who preordered only have to pay the price when they preorder the item. For example, if the preorder price is $59, and you paid $59 during preorder, when the item is in stock and become $69, you dun have to pay the additional $10. PA rarely change the price though.

is it because of the 'PO price is more expensive than retail price' basis?

Nah.... PA's price is usually the same. There is no special pre-order price or anything of that sort but what they do have is coupons.
