These new reduced prices are exactly the kind of change I was hoping for. I feel much better about spending 17 dollars for a full set of coating and effects! I think these prices will entice more people to buy as they are now reasonable. Excited to see this scaled to the rest of the items in past shops. As well as a credit for those who bought items at the more expensive rate.
Considering I’ve uninstalled the game to make space on my puny Series S I am unable to see the changes.
….Hahaha I’m glad I’m not a shop person.
You prerogative 
Is it a step in the right direction? Yes, it is. Though personally I think they should have halved the prices of the store items and made ‘individual purchases’ possible at the same time (even if it would have taken slightly longer to rollout).
