Same thing here. Go to a ¥100 store and most stuff is a bit to a lot above ¥100. Funny thing though is the stores here somehow have much much more leverage over these cheap Chinese sourcing companies than the US $1 stores do, so they actually do get not only keep the prices fairly low but also manage to make a decent profit in the deal.

Anyway, looks like the project is moving along nicely. Always fun to keep up with these things.
