I bought two of those Japanese reissued CDs, of the Queen series. The 
price was R$ 20, roughly US$ 11.20 (here in Brazil). Their jackets are
larger indeed, and they don't fit in my CD rack. But they are nicely
made. The jackets are made of that same sturdy paper they used on 
Japanese LPs, years ago. The covers are exactly like the original LPs.
And like all Japanese LPs, they have plenty of liner notes in Japanese.

The highest price I've seen for those here was around R$ 30 (US$ 16.80)
for some of the Deep Purple LP-like reissues.

I believe Greg when he says they are limited. Those I mentioned above 
seem to be gone from the shops for good.
