Funny you should ask!  You can't really buy a SideCar here yet, but there was
one on my dealers desk today when I went in to visit.  He said that 450
will be available in Canada in the next few weeks, and then there won't be
any until the new year.  No explanation for why.  He claims (despite another
note here) that SideCar does not insist on being the first (and therefore only)
peripheral at the buss connection.

Same dealer also claims that 1.2 is now available in the states for about 
$80 US, and that, today, Commodore Canada was meeting to decide if they
were going to charge the equivalent amount (about $120 Canadian) for 1.2, 
or if they were going to sell it for less.

Anyone know anything about this?
