Sixten says that

So I have faith that NIS America will do a good job with Toradora, which is already available for preorder, for $48 for 13 episodes, 2 DVDs, subtitles only.

Seems quite reasonable to me. No Bandai Visual shenagians that I can see. So, I'm fairly optimistic for Toradora's sales, although the marketing is going to be an question. I do not receive any traditional media and I did not see any viral marketing attempts like ASOS Brigade thus far, so I cannot tell how NIS(A) is doing on that count.

BTW, Toradora Portable, which, presumably, is being shipped to me right now, costs about $60. It is not translated and more expensive than the anime at that, but supposedly has an Ami perfect end. It won't interest Sixten, because it's not a J.C.Staff production, but I'm not that picky.

UPDATE: Perhaps I was too optimistic above, because I forgot that Toradora is a two-season show, not a 13-ep. So even with Robert's good graces we're looking at a $80 a set. Which is still ways away from The Bad Half of Bandai craziness, but not what you'd get from Media Blasters either.
