As I am resident in Brazil I would like to take this opportunity to publish how Hasbro is letting down its Brazilian customers. Only a fraction of new models of figures and vehicles ever becomes available here at all. The retail price for a new figure normally amounts to between US$ 20 and US$ 25 which I consider legalized robbery. I had several discussions with retailers about these prices and they use to explain that the reasons are the high taxes on imported toys. As I happen to be a tax adviser I know better. The reason for the high prices and limited availability is a nice little cartel that takes care that the government maintains indirect (not openly expressed) volume limits for toy imports. That is allegedly for the protection of the local toy industry which in fact produces almost nothing but lives from high sales margins on imported finished toys. I am sure that Hasbro could sell much more in Brazil but not while siding with the local players instead of starting competition. E.g. in the greater São Paulo area every Friday the owners of toy shops meet and decide which would be the toys to be sold as promotions for a certain time and at what price. In the US a behavior like that could get these guys into jail. In Germany the result would not be jail time but a heavy fine. In Brazil the result is called additional profit.
