It was a mix of being harder to find but also highly desired. NECA wasn't as popular with Toys R Us yet, you could find some NECA stuff at a TRU but not like now. So the number of retailers carrying them wasn't huge and then ED is also one of the biggest cult-status favorites of the genre and the only figures to that point were all from AoD so getting ED2 Ash in multiple forms was both really new and they looked better than any of the options before them. However the Henrietta figure was not desired across the board so it hurt the line's performance in stores (TRU) so retailers weren't psyched for NECA to continue with the license at the time. Also it was 2012 and NECA didn't become quite so popular with the masses until around 2013 so anything they made prior to their boom has become wanted for its limited/rarer nature and therefor deemed more expensive.
