    Everybody relax and read the first sentence:

    will increase prices in the mid-single-digit range for its toys
    That means toys that usually cost USD5, will now be 6 or 7. So, the worst you have to fear about are Scouts and Legends.

    For some reason, i think the price increases will be little higher than just a dollar or two....

    I was more thinking Deluxes since they're 9.99 and are always the class that have the must figures turning through.

    EDIT:
    and we've got factor in that right now, Australian prices are basically 2.5 times American RRP so even an increase of $2 could mean $5 extra
