LFL seem to use the introduction of new Star Wars material as an oppportunity
to introduce a new price point -- I believe cinema tickets have been revised
to new price levels with the introduction of each new SW film after ANH.
Similarly, the new price point for new release VHS tapes may wait until TPM is
released -- because, let's face it, people will buy it.  Then you'll see many
more tapes at $22.98.

You're right about the cost of anime videos though -- they're still seen as a
specialist market in the UK too, despite selling thousands of copies for the
lead titles.

Just my €0.2 (Thinks to self: wonder if that euro symbol will map correctly on
people's US displays?)

P.S.  Average video price around here seems to be $14 to $18.  Maybe I've just
been lucky about the films I buy.

(follow-ups to off-topic.fun) (...) I wouldn't know for the old ones, I was too young to see most movies in theatres. :) However, The release of TPM didn't change ticket prices outright around here. In fact, most places seem to have stayed the same. (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.starwars)
