Overpriced fan memorabilia

dimity_blueI got a leaflet from Past Impressions today (a cross stitch supplier), and, on the back, there were some Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Wererabbit ceramic breakfast accessories.
All of which were overpriced (to me, anyway).
A Gromit toast rack was a mere snip at £22 (US$38.26 / CAN$45.53), while the Wallace and Gromit van storage jar was listed at £50 (US$86.95 / CAN$103.49).
FIFTY QUID for a storage jar. A ceramic storage jar.
You'd have to be some fan to pay that.
