Effective September 1, Hasbro will raise prices for its toys in the mid-single-digit percentage range to protect its margins, Hargreaves added on a conference call.
Toymakers are being slammed by high commodity prices. Hasbro has also cited higher costs for transporting its goods, despite expecting higher earnings this year.
"While input cost inflation continues to be challenging, thus far we have been able to mitigate most of the impact through cost savings initiatives and pricing actions," Hasbro Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer David Hargreaves said in a statement.
| If read this right most of the price increase will be on toys under $20.00 range. | |

You mean Indiana Jones and Transformers product actually sold in the second quarter??? I would never have guessed by the surplus on the shelves lately.
Facetious? Me?
