I was drawn to this discrete strip of text on Hasbro Pulse at the top of the window while preordering some of today’s products. It reads:
“Lock-in pre-order pricing today. Current pre-orders end May 9th at 12:01 EDT“
It sounds like after the deadline, new preorders will get a bump in pricing but existing preorders you have will hold at their current pricing.
As we’re all well aware, increased costs for manufacturers worldwide since the pandemic started continue to affect us today and Hasbro is not immune (no pun intended). Retailers/distributors have been notified that price increases will go into effect in the coming months. It may take some time for those prices to hit shelves and online stores but expect to pay a few bucks more per figure (in all scales) before too long.
With this news, how will it impact your collecting?
