HLJ has him for a good price $67, Anime-Export also does for $62 but you have to pay up front. Both have similar pricing for shipping if you're shipping one item, if you do SAL (slow) it'll be about $10-12 on top.

Was there like a super tax increase on plastic or something?

Mafex jacked their prices more than anyone. Figuarts and Revoltech are still about the same prices as a few years ago. I guess Mafex figured they need to actually pay money for people to QC their products and they jacked their prices way up. I paid about $35-40 shipped for their first Darth Vader a few years ago. Then all of the sudden their prices basically doubled.
