Re: Toys R Us Price Increases
There is something off here and no one knows why. It's telling that this discussion is happening under the Hasbro Toy Discussion because this price is increase is mainly with Hasbro products.
Right now, TRU charges the exact same amount as other retailers for:
-Mattel
-Lego
-McFarlane
-Nintendo (toys and games)
to name the few I checked. But of course, since we are collectors and look more at Marvel Legends, Transformers and Star Wars black series, it looks like everything is increasing in price at TRU. But it's just Hasbro.
It being just for one company eliminates the idea that it's simply greed from TRU (because then why not increase everything else) and we know that TRU deals directly with hasbro due to their exclusive contracts. So it's not a third party fee.
Maybe there is another element to a renegotiated contract now that TRU has changed ownership and Hasbro is demanding a premium or to pay upfront since they arent sure in the business surviving. And then TRU is passing that extra cost to the consumer.
It's the only thing I could think of.
