Bought the first issue for $9.90. But only realize that the next 69 issues are at $28.90. Too steep for me.

That's around 2k....
Treat it as installments...
But it will takes you 70 weeks...

and that's provided publisher can sustain the momentum.

That's a kind of marketing I never go for.

Read thru FAQ section in robi.sg, in there does shows the total cost, but how many ppl would read thru it first?

The total cost to build a robi should be: $9.9(1st copy) + $1,994.10(28.9 x 69 copies) + $55(CPU) + $42 x 2(2 pieces of physical sensors) + $55(Speech recognition board) = $2,198......

Q: What is the price of the Robi publication?

A. The first issue comes with a promotion price of $9.90. Subsequent issues are $28.90 each, excluding the list below:
Issue 43 (CPU): $55.00
Issue 62 (Physical sensor): $42.00
Issue 63 (Physical sensor): $42.00
Issue 67 (Speech recognition board): $55.00

if willing to pay a bit more, believe online ppl are selling the whole 70 issue, just not sure what language it in.
2.2k is the base price, there are "magazine" holder too.
