That is because they aren't normally stocked. Guitar Center doesn't even carry them in store. Even the B&M stores have to order them.

Sometime this week. If you know anything about bargain shopping a receipt is leverage for other vendors to drop their prices. For example. I can buy something from on store and buy 2 more of that item from another store for the same price.
Guitar Centers price didn't drop until later. I checked after I saw the price on B&H on Friday afternoon.

Look at how old the tech is. Is it really needed with todays hi-speed memory and flash storage options? It is not the first time they have dropped support of something.
wonder which it will be. and how much.
You are assuming they plan on pushing the same old series with all the new competition out. They would have to bring out another Fantom with some serious upgrades to compete with the Korg Kronos and all the plugins that are out there.
