I'll take a stab at an estimation based on some known facts and usual build times from the past. This is in NO WAY definite or based on any information from Rob...Simply based on what I've seen since January.
Since he's just started building the 200 midvil's, and since the electronics aren't even built yet from the VV's.... I'm guestimating the midvil's to be done sometime before Thanksgiving. Finishing 200 wood mods is going to be a pita for one or two guys and will be extremely time consuming. The VV will be a new "size" comparred to what Rob's been shucking out, electronics must still be "fitted", and still must be tested "somewhat" before he'll ever release them for sale I'd say we're looking at Christmas or later before we see them listed. I may be way off base, but even the last batch that was built took a couple of months and they weren't a new design or size. If you look at how long it takes for other mod builders to produce just 10-20 mods at a whack, and compare that to 100-200 at a time from Rob he's smoking fast! Not to mention the "new and upcomming mods" from folks that take almost a year before we even see a finished product ready for the market....Perfection takes time and is well worth waiting for in my book... Patientce is a virtue that many (myself included) don't possess much of these days. Wouldn't you rather have a beautiful, dependable vv mod thats gonna last or would you rather have to send it back because of problems or the finish isn't quite to your likeing? I sure as heck want mine when it meets Rob's standards (I know when it does, it will surpass my expectations!)
Knowing Rob, and knowing how fair his prices are for the work he puts into his mods.... I'd say the price will be similarly priced to any of the other high quality VV wood bottom feeders that have been produced. If I had to guess I'd say $230 or less... That also depends on his costs for the electronics from Mike. There, again I'd rather have "the best" inside my vv reo and pay a little more for it then some of the other designs out there...
