I've been in the physical stores a few times in the past month, but didn't notice it at the store level. It's only $2 increase, but still quite unpleasant.

Someone mentioned this up thread somewhere but yeah, they raised the prices on Micromasters, Studio Series Leader class (to match Walmart's $74.99), and some Cyberverse classes too.

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.
