Hmm, that's ... interesting. The ICON Magstrike is currently $28 at Target here in the US. It's predecessor, the iconic Magstrike AS-10 retailed for $20 in 2007.

According to reputable Inflation Calculator apps, the inflation rate between 2007 and 2020 is 27%. All things being equal, the original Magstrike should cost about $25.50 in today's dollars (if it were still on the shelves and whatnot, let's just pretend).

So effectively, in 2020 dollars you get Elite level performance for two and a half bucks more. I don't know about you, but in my book that's a pretty good deal.

Too bad the darts haven't even improved 1% in all that time 😜
