Another round of price increases are hitting online retailers as the cost of materials and skyrocketing shipping/transportation costs from China affect the market. For example the Black Series line recently increased about $1.50 per standard (non-exclusive) figure, and now another increase of $2.00 is planned pushing MSRPs to near $25. Exclusives will approach $30 and Deluxe figures around $40. Obviously, these increases won’t be limited to Black Series, Star Wars or even Hasbro.
