Indyfan, I could not agree more with you however, people are buying the merchandise at Disney so there is little incentive for them to add a higher priced item at their cost to their offered wares.
I once had a nice chat from a somebody at Disney on why they increased their ticket price each year. "Because people still pay the price". In other words, Disney is not hurting for sales so the same holds true for what they offer to the customer after seeing the stunt show.

Agreed. Also remember that they're not pitching this stuff to us. Their target customer is someone who's maybe seen the movies, just got done watching the stunt show, and wants a souvenir.
It seems like Star Wars fans get cooler toys and collectibles. I’m a DL passholder and they get top quality really cool stuff and we get a dollar store whip. Smh
Saddest thing is there are a million "costume grade" whips available at a fraction of that price. Beyond the Indy connection, whips that look like whips.
That's crazy!! That has to be a typo or something! I thought they were like $20, but I never looked at the price. I'll have to check while I'm at Disneyland tomorrow [and will likely be horrified].
EDIT: They're 47.99 at Disneyland. That's 46.99 over what I would pay for them!
