If lots of people stopped buying because of the price hikes, they would stop raising the prices. They actually said something along these lines to shareholders when the price went from 19.99 to 22.99.

It's bad logistics and scarce availability that are the limiting factors right now, not price. But I do think they are nearing a point of vastly diminishing returns. I can't imagine the same number of people will pay 27.99 and 29.99 for figures they were getting for 19.99 and 22.99 two years ago.
