I hear a lot people talk about the d20 being "expensive" for its time when it was released, but no one talks about what that means or what the numbers were.

The closest I've found is
https://www.tsrarchive.com/cat/tsr-1978.pdf, which you can see has a full polyhedral set for $1.49, or $.89 for 2D20s.

That puts a full polyhedral set around ... the price of a gallon of milk in 1978? That doesn't seem bad at all? Actually cheaper than today. Maybe the situation was way worse in 1975, but I wonder if this situation is overblown and it was more about availability. I know they ran into a supply crunch in the late 70s. I'm curious if someone knows more.
