It's in print in limited edition from Hip-O Select (http://www.hip-oselect.com/scr.publi...-755e0e05f174).
Unfortunately, it retails $17.49, so with shipping it runs about $21, but it's better than $99 used...
As far as a mass reprinting, I haven't heard anything. You'd think it would be a no-brainer what with the new album and tour.

Wasn't there a "best of" collection out a few years back that almost all of both albums on it?

There's a compilation called "Rock 'N Roll" that's currently in-print.
Allmusic.com review:
Allmusic.com review:
Rock 'N Roll contains all of the original material from the New York Dolls' two classic albums and adds a couple of outtakes and rarities. So why isn't it as much fun as New York Dolls or Too Much Too Soon? For starters, the Dolls' versions of "Pills," "Stranded in the Jungle," "Don't Start Me Talkin," and "(There's Gonna Be A) Showdown" weren't filler, they were essential to the overall feeling of the albums. And that brings up the main problem of Rock 'N Roll -- it isn't sequenced in an inviting manner. Instead of showcasing the New York Dolls in all of their trashy glory, the disc manages to make them sound rather tedious, which is something their proper albums certainly aren't. Nevertheless, there's plenty of fine music here, and hardcore fans will want the rarities. But the original albums remain the best way to hear the Dolls.
