Components should be only a small part of what the game's MSRP should be and that makes a lot of this thread's supporting arguments moot. There are probably at least 10 legitimate factors that play a part. There's packaging, marketing, development, etc., each with a cost to be layered on. I've been told that custom dice are one of the more expensive things to produce in a game.
To me, I mostly judge how much a game is worth by the amount of time I will spend enjoying the playing of the game. Dominion will likely always be my greatest bargain even at $20-40 per box of cards because of the thousands of hours spent playing it.

And the emphasis of that whole post hangs on the "to me" statement, It's your opinion, which whilst you're entitled to, I don't agree with.
Personally I don't care what the costs are in producing an item. If I don't think the net product is worth the RRP, I'm not going to buy it, and that's my opinion on the matter.
