I have an itech titanium cage, is it the same design/ shape as the RBE viii "Oreo"(Black outside, White inside), except the titanium is titanium?

Yes, in fact the titanium cage is actually called the Itech RBE VIII Titanium cage. It's the same size and shape as the other RBE VIII cages, including the I2 two toned (black outside, white inside) cages.

New, probably about $50 (plus shipping, if applicable). Used? $30-$40 depending on the condition. If Bauer didn't come out with the RE-AKT titanium cage then the Itechs would probably be worth more than that, but now I'd say it's worth a bit less than the RE-AKT because the RE-AKT is slightly lighter, has thinner bars and a better chin cup.

Is the RE-AKT cage available yet?

I haven't seen it available anywhere just yet. I know one of the big box retailers near me (Pro Hockey Life) posted on facebook that the helmet would be on shelves on Friday. I also noticed a picture of the combo in the show it off thread so I assume that's out. Not sure when the stand alone cage will be released (I believe the original intention was May 15 along with the helmets, but that could've been pushed), but I think it'll be soon. Other members (Bauer reps, store owners ect.) may be able to give you a more concrete answer.

I've seen the helmet & combo on sites like IW, but the cage only on Perani's site, listed as not available, with a price of $69.99. I haven't looked a lot, though.

We've all heard May 15th but apparently they will be in stores May 18th.
