The price of aluminium is going up very fast; the current trade price is around USD6.00 per KG. So manufacturers need to either increase the price of their cases or they use thinner panels.

The TJ11 is surely expensive but bear in mind that there is about USD100 worth or aluminium in that case. And that's just material cost! If you have a little experience of manufacturing, you can see that some of their design choices are making this case very expensive to make.

But it is still expensive and frankly not very good looking. But it is difficult to follow up on the TJ-07, it is and will remain a classic.
