Well depending upon what comes out... I will be in line! At least for the D FA * 85 and if in 2018 the new flagship crop comes out I might go for it also.

I sure hope you are about right on price. I am saving up for this one, will look great on the front of my KP and K3II! Over 1,500 or so and I am out they can keep it. I have been wanting to cover my prime gap between 55 to 300 with a fast prime and this is going to be the lens to do it!

Well I do see where you are coming from but the APS-C lens lineup is mostly complete. Plus items like the new DFA 85 F 1.4 will be a nice classic 135mm eq. on a crop body. Seriously thinking about this one to cover my prime gap between 55 and 300 currently... When it is released who knows but I am glad to see new sharp glass in general.

Putting your money where your mouth is always a hard thing to do. I mean look I ponyed up big time for all the stuff in my sig and will for 85 DFA * 1.4 too provided they keep it under 1,500.
I do think the key words you have right is... "I think, if anything, our problem is we talk too much and buy too little..."
Couldn't have said it better myself. I am huge car fan and people on the GM forums always say if General Motors would just build or sell X or Y, I will buy it. Hell they don't even buy X or Y if made and they totally ignore Z too. As a GM fan I get it, but it is pretty easy to be an arm chair exec and Monday morning quarter back. Thanks for introducing common sense back to this discussion.
We should celebrate Pentax is building sweet new DFA primes at all, cameras like the K1 and KP and have true bargains in the marketplace like the K70 and K3II! Let's celebrate they are a brand alive with a strong parent company and have survived in this difficult smart phone era world! :)

I plan to buy this and use exclusively on APS-C nice classic 135mm telephoto focal length. Unless it swells way over 1K, then I am out... Like 1,500 is my absolute highest.

Oh boy my pocket book might be getting lighter again... Might have to consider this to cover my 55mm to 300mm prime gap once it is out. If it sails too much past the 1K price point I will look elsewhere one of the last focal ranges with a prime I want to cover on my crop K3II and upcoming KP. Likely have plenty of time to save up, this is Ricoh/Pentax maybe will be ready for later part of this year?
