While we mention inflation, we cannot forget the cost of materials and shipping etc...these all contribute...but what is beneficial is there is open access to their revenue reports and if we can accuse places like Loblaw Ltd of price gouging they should be able to determine Hasbro and the like and hopefully we can see these places getting called on to the carpet to explain their potential profiteering off of the current economic environment.

You're right shipping and cost of materials contribute but Hasbro has been the only toy company that I've seen damage controlling their price increases like they do. Hasbro knows they are over charging and they know the product they're giving us doesn't reflect the price otherwise they wouldn't be damage controlling every time there's a "price increase". Other toy companies that have only needed to increase prices minimally haven't had to go to such lengths because they know they are still offering a product that is reflective of what you're paying.
