And covid19 causing a rise in distribution/shipping costs
Most amusing, that thread. In a car-crash-full-of-clowns kind of way. Hey, maybe all the Americans swearing off buying any more toys might mean we actually get a decent amount of stock sent our way...
Really not the least bit surprising.
When was the last time we had a price increase in Australia? I've only been paying attention to modern HasTak toys for the last two years, and the prices have been static in that time.
I remember back when Generations first hit (as well as Reveal the Shield) in around 2010, Kmart were selling Deluxes for $23.75 and Voyagers for $49. Studio Series are now $29/$45 and Kingdom is $29/$49, so not too bad (granted Big W now sells Deluxes for $34, but Voyagers has stayed the same). Hopefully we don't get something ridiculous like a US$2 price increase in US being equated to like a A$5 increase in Australia (which would make it a $0.40 exchange rate...).Quote:
