Why are GACHA-GACHAs so expensive these days?
Many of the toys are made overseas. As for capsule toys, many are made in China. This means that the cost and expenses of the manufacturing country will affect the price. When a toy factory should pay more for workers, or material costs more, the price of GACHA-GACHA also goes up. There used to be 10-yen GACHA-GACHAs, but you don’t see them nowadays.
