$90+? Is this the right price point? Other sites have it for $45-50.

$90 is an inflated price that some people are charging because the game is out of stock at most retailers. The games list price is $69.95, and some stores will likely sell it at a discount. If you want the game now, you have to pay inflated prices. If you're willing to wait, expect to find it for $50-70.

Does anyone know if they're planning on fixing the component quality in the second printing?

The only major change in the second printing is that they will ditch the box-insert entirely (which is for the best).

What is the difference between the basic pack and the premium pack? Thanks!

Doesn't seem to be any difference. I am pretty sure there isn't a "premium pack" edition offered by the publisher. I'd stay away from the premium pack edition until someone can actually tell us what makes it premium beyond the inflated price.

what is the different between basic pack and premium pack?

I would contact the seller to make certain, but I think the premium pack includes the 4 extra project cards that were given away to promote the game back in 2016. You can find these 4 cards for sale on eBay for around $20 which is the price difference between the one premium pack game I found on Amazon versus the basic packs (though if you're a member of Board Game Geek.com, you can buy them there for $3 each). So the basic pack has 208 different project cards and the premium should have 212.
