so how hard is it to find one of these and what will it cost me if i do find one??

short answer: unobtanium - lots of $

I'd wager if you find one it would be at least $500.

Pretty much. But if you want to wait an unspecified amount of time http://www.schumannelectronics.com/ says "One of the most common questions we have been asked is regarding prices and availability. Unfortunately I do not have any concrete information on price and availability of any of our devices. We are not certain exactly how soon, but since we are in the final phase of prototype refinements, it shouldn’t be much longer. The price is still TBD. Once we begin our initial production run, we can establish our actual per unit cost and then a fair retail price (which is impossible to determine at this point since the 100% analog units will all be 100% hand made here in NY)"

Several hundred...when you find one be ready to fight for it

A few Lions (a bass one and an X, iirc...) passed through SF Craigslist recently. Both were $500-ish I think...

yeah you won't be able to find an original one
i'd wait for the reissue which'll hopefully be even better

reissue it is..I emailed them to get signed up for the mailing list. but if they reissue it and charge 500 bucks forget it that is too much for me to pay for one pedal.

seen a normal lion on tgp for 325 week back pretty pricey
