I found a few online shopping hits that put it at $50, so it's obtainable if you really want it.

If you change the country setting at the top of the LEGO website page, you will see items not yet released for US sale. It does not neccessarally mean they won't be sold in the US. European countries, particularly the mainland, recieve new products first because LEGO is a Danish company. While US buyers cannot directly order these items at the moment, they can at least preview the sets and make their own judgements on whether they are worth the purchase.
With that said, if this item becomes available in the US I'll certainly attempt a purchase.

the short skirt of the girl and yes the yester is female
I don't think either of these count as new parts. The short skirt appears to be nothing more than a white 45º 2x2 slope. The jester might be female, but the only change that I can tell is in the head. The torso appears to be identical to the one found in the current impulse set.
This isn't to say that this set isn't neat––I think it is––but I still don't see any "awesome new parts."
