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?
