Adding to this to keep track of updates. Finally seen Azlanii hit my fb group in Illinois, going for around $160 for a specimen.
Asked the sellar some questions and come to find they are definitely tissue cultures they have had since August.
Also note seeing this species on other forums, many having leaf issues with these plants. A lot of weird discoloration that comes and goes with leaf damage. Many claim they keep theirs in medium indirect light by a window with around 60-70% humidity and have lost their plant to what they think is root rot in moss and leca. I've been scouring the internet for a fuller more mature TC plant to no avail. A nursery in Massachusetts had them for around ~$250 only to discount them weeks later to $100. The speed at which these are being put out and dropping in price is definitely a red flag with all the issues I've seen in the last two months.
