Inflation is 5 to 7% but prices and profits are far in excess of that. Hasbro is no different from Loblaws.

Less than two years ago, the Snake Supreme Cobra Commander Pulsecon exclusive, with it's fancy box and extra accessories was $39.99 through Gamestop.
Now, Mindbender, in a similar deluxe box with slightly more accessories is $69.99. That's a 75% increase.
You are right, that's not inflation, that's profiteering by Hasbro (and many other companies right now).
