Disappointment in today's magic industry...

Usually it's based on exclusivity though. My mom got some nice and original Gucci glasses, shoes and stuff which were way cheap compared to the things Gucci is known for: exclusive, wearable gear (the things she got are still wearable, just not as exclusive). I actually don't know any exclusive brand that would overprize any of the products they don't have an expertise in, especially if they didn't make those products together with another company which does have the expertise.

If DnD and T11 think they are such high class, have them increase the prices of all of their releases at least, not just of a single book or of clothes. And they should definitely not make it look like everyone can afford such products and that they are happy to see the viewers be inspired by it if only few of their usual costumers can afford and bought/will buy the book. They overhyped it as always.

It is as if a company usually sells $500 computers and then suddenly releases a computer of $4000 while it doesn't offer much more but some applications you will probably never use, yet marketing it the same if not more than any other product and not including the price tag in their campaigns.
