>>5720514Inflation has only gone up roughly 33% since 2002. Some of it is oil costs but those haven't been too bad. It's mostly just greed.
Pic related was a "massive" $30 when Diamond imported it to US specialty shops in 2002 and people actually thought that was really high.
http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.plThat comes to $39.90 in 2016 money. Yet that price(or higher) has become average for Japanese imports that are 1/3 the size of Monev. Oh and a $20 action figure today would be priced $15.04 in 2002 going by that, or roughly double what they were actually priced at the time.
