I just realized there's a way to confirm this. Just take a look back at the sightings threads. They have prices listed there. Popping into the BC sightings thread and checking out the first few pages and anyone can see what the prices were in Canadian.

Looking at the old pages, comparing the actual figures, what I can say is that 12 years ago, what consisted of what class was used was completely inconsistent across the series, where one deluxe in one, would barely pass if in another series.
One massive example of that which is fairly recent is the Megatron "wing" that was a 20$ deluxe 2013, then re-release in 2017 in a fancy box and was now 30$, BUT as it was, it was a very small figure compared to other fancy movie /deluxe".
Seriously, put multiple series "deluxe" side by side and it's easy to see the difference in size and quality.
Heck, put POTP Prime, which is Orion pax "deluxe" (and then some) and the trailer body... Can you put it next to Siege Ultra Magnus and say that they are "equal" as they are both leaders?
I wouldn't...
All this to say, it's still very inconsistent, and I guess that makes overpricing easier.
