Cost for everything have gone up again. Zamac is nowhere near what it was 5yrs ago. And China companies are really giving the run-around with a lot of things. Higher diecast prices are inevitable. JL held on as long as they could, but their manufacturing. costs have gone up along with a few others. The stores in turn raised their prices to compensate. As Joe would say... IT SUCKS! .... , but what can you do.
