This was a fan hobby when it was affordable.

I couldn't agree more. Rising prices of materials/production/R&D doesn't really account for this sort of price inflation, same materials/same means of production, same distribution. Takara/hasbro have been testing the waters for premium priced products, if the fandom obliges at these prices, then it becomes the standard moving forward.
