Kingdom looks to have a $3 hike on deluxes, and who knows after that.
Hasbro has to show shareholders increased profit every quarter in a world where toy sales fall year after year. This is only going to get worse until it hits a breaking point.

With the MSRP continuing to increase they start to price out the non collectors. Majority of the my kids friends have zero interest in TF's.
In the toy aisles I rarely see kids looking at Tf's compared to the other toy lines. I would say the average amount a parent would spend on a gift when they attend a bday party is around the $20-30 range, that doesn't even get you a main line deluxe now. Sure it buys a deluxe size cyberverse but those look cheap in comparison.
