So, I put in a pre-order on Hasbro Pulse. The earlier wave figures (Mandalorian, etc), are priced at $12.99, but the later wave (Wickett, expected date 09/01/20??!!), is priced at $13.99??
So, are they planning on raising the price of Vintage Collection in the middle of the year next year, or is this a website error? If they were planning a price increase, they would have been wise to do it with the Mandalorian figure, not with the repacks. All around kind of odd. |

Yeah, I noticed that too. I always wait for the inevitable markdowns anyway, but I'm hoping this is a sign Hasbro's losing the license & attempting to pad their pockets while they can.

There’s really not much difference in the price between the 4” and 6” now. Tho I’m mainly a 6” guy, I’m gonna get the CW Obi Wan and Anakin to keep carded.

You think them losing the license would be a good thing? I feel like that would effectively kill the 3.75 line for good, and then we'd have a restart with 6" (which I don't buy anyway). Who makes better figures at that price point?

Health care costs going up 10% in some states and minimum wage increases are why prices are increasing.

Jazwares has really upped their game with the Fortnite line, but yeah - there's no one else that has demonstrated the ability to make 1:18 figures at the same quality as Hasbro.
I'm not going to get my umbrella for the falling sky though based only on Pulse. We'll see what other retailers start doing. |

It's to offset the tariffs. Hasbro's CEO said they'd be shifting the burden to their customers. All their products are getting price hikes next year.

This is actually not true. The tariffs will only increase the price of Hasbro goods by a few cents, Hasbro’s CEO is giving himself a raise and is using the tariffs as an excuse. Plus, Hasbro has been moving out of China for the past year or so.
