You've only been on this forum since 2018.
Myself and people like wedge have been here since 2013. We remember the Canadian prices. I myself have been collecting longer than that.
You have your own perspective from buying things from American stores and paying in USD.
However, from the Canadian perspective - and particularly from people who've posted prices on this board, a Canadian action figure forum - the prices have seen an increase.
From my own experience: I bought the Ultimate Green Goblin wave from a Canadian Target when it was first released in January - February 2014. I paid $19.99 per figure. I don't have the receipt, but I know that's what I paid. The prices started creeping up not soon after.
Flash forward to 2015 and the price went up to $24.99. Below is from an email confirmation from TRU in June 2015 that I pulled up.
Description: Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Iron Man Figure
Item#: 18981853
Quantity: 1 @ $24.99
From there, it crept up to the current price of $29.99 sometime in 2016. Below is a copypaste from another TRU.ca order from August 2016:
Item: 24307292
Description: Marvel 6 Inch Legends Series Marvels Rogue
Quantity: 1 @ $29.99
Shipping Method: Standard Ground
From your particular perspective of buying waves from US retailers in USD, the price may not have gone up. But for everyone else who bought figures from Canadian stores paying in Canadian dollars, the price most certainly increased.
