To be honest, This is not true.

And how do you explain this then?

Those are the MSRP's straight from the source, from Square Enix' website. How did they not get more expensive every other year exactly, when I can clearly see that they have?

What you need to understand is that you pre-order with a discount from the MSRP, which retailers apply to sell their stuff better. If anything it's not "greedy retailers" but the exact opposite: You're only able to buy these figures for as cheap as you do because retailers apply discounts instead of selling the figures for the MSRP which Square Enix suggests for their PAK's.

It's obvious that these figures have become more expensive. It's a fact you cannot deny. I'm happy that NY gives people great discounts on these figures, maybe that helped you in not noticing that the prices increased, but they did.
