Leaders have jumped from $35 to nearly $50 now. Modern Ultras have gone from $25 to nearly $35. Voyagers have gone from $20 to $25.
So your TF comparison really doesn't hold water at all.

Also, I've never seen a DCUC sold for $8, ever. Not unless it was on sale, clearance, or misspriced. The lowest I've ever seen them, from when the line began was $12. So $12 to $15 is not an unreasonable jump, honestly.

I found a Sinestro Corps Bats at a Marshalls for $7.99, but that obviously falls into the sale/clearance area, making that invalid evidence I guess. I didn't pick it up though, since I already got one for $15 - yay (the left hand came clean off though, glued it back but it's rendered immobile now)
