Seeking Tea: Debate Over the Pricing of 'Magnetic Prize' Merchandise

Recently, a player posted in the community questioning the price of the official 'Magnetic Prize' merchandise, sharing a screenshot and triggering a heated discussion about the pricing strategy.

Comments were mixed. Some 'Zhou-you' (a nickname for fans of Arknights) argued that given it is sold as an official set, the price isn't unreasonable. However, players unfamiliar with this model were confused and flocked to Taobao to verify the details.

Later, more informed users clarified the situation: a single 'pull' costs 58 RMB, and a full set collection could cost between 3,000 and 4,000 RMB. This high price tag led to jokes in the community regarding the player base's spending power and the 'gacha' nature of physical merchandise.
