Would it be a direct replacement for OEM shocks? It looks like an aftermarket top mount is being used at 0:43

These are currently available over here in Australia already for the Toyota hilux and 200 series landcruiser. These are not replacement OME shocks, they are a coilover design shock that you can adjust preload, height, etc. the nitro charger sports are still being made along side these. The BP51 are quite expensive over here and as of yet no word being developed for the 100 series.. But I could be wrong, cheers.
They won't be cheap for sure.
I would expect them to be $500-600 per shock.
Is it weird that I got goosebumps when I watched that video? 
over here its around AUD $2800 for a full set of BP51's
I hadn't run anything ARB in a few years until I added a front bumper of theirs on my new rig which features a new textured powdercoat, and the quality is phenomenal. I wouldn't hesitate to put anything ARB on my vehicles, and these shocks look sweet!
Not sure if this is a viable indicator of a price point for us but Sierra Expeditions has them listed for Jeeps @ $484/ea. Plus another $117 for a required mounting kit. Wonder if that will be the fate of LCs.
Well, for one, they won't be coilovers for a 100 series, so you will be getting 4 shocks, which should be cheaper.
You can do that right now with ICON's.
