the best thing is that the CEO admits the price hikes are hurting them...and then they raise the price of TVC a few dollars more anyway.

His point, I think, was that the price hikes are hurting them, but they have no choice but to hike them because all the other costs have risen. I think...if that wasn't his point, then I dunno wtf.

Just like RotJ Boba Fett somehow costs more to produce than Din Djarin |

I think he's a shithead. CEO Chris "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" Cocks the obvious answer is there. "stop raising prices and sales will remain the same" or "lower prices and we will make more sales" and yet, it still happened after one of the ghosts of xmas visited him and beat it over his head and he wrote that message, rather than seeing it happen in real time on his own and make an honest effort to change that. instead it's still "raise prices and we're going to make less money" after paz. there's literally not a single thing hasbro has for sale that i want to buy, that i've seen previewed or leaked since paz was revealed and i preordered him; and certainly nothing i am willing to justify the price for - like PAZ who i said "im literally not buying anything else because the prices are too high except for mandalorian characters from the mandalorian tv show or other characters i like - like cad bane or the rebels crew."

Prices are really helping kill interest. I've cut so far back on almost everything.
At this point I'm just planning on TBS Mara Jade(s) and that's basically it for TBS this year for me. TVC has nothing I want |

Prices are too high and don't have to be- I've said it before but not a single other toy seller is having the dramatic increases that Hasbro is- specifically worth pointing out Jazwares Fortnite because so many of those figures use unique tooling.
Second- if you're going to increase prices, then you can't just roll out outdated repacks and light repaints. The fact that the fist 16.99 wave is all outdated repacks is egregious and tone deaf, and someone should absolutely hold Hasbro account on these calls. There are gracious ways to ask uncomfortable questions. Let's keep in mind- these fuckers are about to release the Endor Han with hardly any new tooling for what will presumably be 16.99- a decade old figure that was shit when it came out, and has been released too many times already, is coming to come out again in 2023 at a bloated cost. If they haven't gone back and completely retooled that figure, then that's a big time joke. Secondly, that Boba Fett bullshit- that figure cost 12.99 just like the rest of them at the tail end of 2022- so in 2 years the cost for a figure on a tool that already exists has damn near doubled? No fucking way. And if it truly is the retailers who are asking that price, in this case Target, someone needs to call them out, as well. And the TVC character selection is trash, coupled with the copious amounts of exclusives that suck anyway.

I agree Ax. They won't produce alien figures because every time they do all they get are peg warmers. But, the overdo Lando and that's ok. Makes no sense. Look at Horacio Sanz. He rattled on the pegs bad, but I bought as many as I could find because it's good fodder. Hasbro will like use poor ole Horacio as an example.

The funny thing is stuff like the TVC Jedi Survivor Cal coming out for $14.99 and then two waves later will be repacked...for $17.99!
