I wonder when South Dakota v. Wayfair will be implemented on Warehouse 23.

Wow, I remember struggling to get the $10 together to cover ADQ for the year. Those lawns didn't mow themselves back then.

For reference, $1.00 in 1983 = $2.52 in 2019, so a $5.50 pocket game would have cost $13.86 today.

I'd buy a bunch of those cardboard heroes products. I'd love to see a re-release of that line. :)

Maybe reprints of the two Omnibus editions? Those were fantastic values, and I bet they would be even today.

We can't quite hit that price these days, but we can make $20/game work.

It's also hard to get people to buy things at the production quality of many games of that era.
