You probably bought the model that was being replaced.

They drop the price when they're coming out with a new model. I have the KJ Classic II. I think they've already come out with a 3. The KJ CII wasn't out that long so I can only imagine that it didn't get a great reception.

The KJ comes with a lot more stuff when you buy it. the egg just comes with the egg you and you ahve to buy the deflectors and all that jazz.
