What's the difference between the mugs?

I was really excited for the new poro mug (I am poro addict after all) but I was quite surprised by the price. Mugs used to be 15€, just like the Tibbers mug: https://euw.merch.riotgames.com/en/other/tibbers-mug.html

But new mugs are 20€, what exactly makes the difference? https://euw.merch.riotgames.com/en/other/snowdown-poro-mug.html

I know there is a special box for the mug but previous mugs had them as well https://rgmerch-a.akamaihd.net/products/production/1282-00-00/2018-09-07%2000:12:30.394_tibbers_mug_copy.png

The volume is also exactly the same like the old ones, what caused the increased price? Also why are the mugs 20€ for Europe but 20$ for US? That's almost 2.5€ cheaper for US for the very same product. If it's harder to transport the product to Europe then increase the shipping costs but paying more for the same stuff just because we're living somewhere else feels kinda bad (it feels so bad EU even made it illegal in European eshops).

Ok, that's the end of my rant I guess.

just making a guess, but maybe it's because the tibbers mug is mostly brown with the face on one side, while the poro mug has a pattern the whole way round? could be harder to print?
