The price of toys

I was recently at Target and while Jodi looked for baby gifts, took the opportunity to stroll through the toy section. It was a bit of like walking down memory lane because the toys these days are the same one I had when I was a kid! I guess companies understand who makes toy purchasing decisions.

Any how, I was blown away at the cost (now I'm really starting to sound old). I understand that the price of oil is much different today and that the cost of living has increased but these prices were shocking. I remember when I could collect $2 and afford (almost) a GI Joe action figure (at one point I had over 100). I never had a Millennium Falcon, but I can't imagine it having been more than $50 - $60.
