Inflation or gouging? I don't really see anything but toys going up in price. Gas, groceries, cat food, deodorant, toothpaste, mouthwash, you name it & it hasn't gone up in years. I've seen a lot of stuff go down in price. But not toys.

Look at the new deluxe Transformers at Walmart. They started at $14.99 & a lot of suckers were stupid enough to pay that price. Now they've rolled back the price & I got all my Dinobots for $9.98 each. They never needed to be $14.99 in the first place. It's called gouging, not inflation.

Marvel Legends figures have cost $20 in my area since the early 2000s, and have remained pretty consistent. So no, I haven't seen such ridiculous inflation in action figures before.

Deluxe Transformers toys have remained between $12 and $15 in my area for about 10 years. So yeah, the stuff you're seeing is not at all consistent with what's been happening in my corner of Texas.

I remember around 2005 when Revoltechs were $20 each before shipping. Now they're almost $50. That is fucking ridiculous.
