I also haven't seen a pricetag on the things. Anybody?

A small fraction of the Viking missions, in constant dollars. I
vaguely remember one sixth or less, but I could be off either way.

Doc hasn't been looking hard. Just about every news story I've seen on this
mission mentions the total price tag ($820 million for both landers).

Viking cost $972 million in then-year dollars, or about $2.4 billion in
today's dollars, for two orbiters and two landers.
