The thing that worries me is that it comes at a time when Hasbro is finally exploring stuff other than American G1. I don't want to see a situation where in a few years we're back to everything being just purely G1 again and for Hasbro to say that people weren't buying them when they tried before. I know that I have had to be very selective about the ones I buy just simply because I cannot afford to buy all of the ones I want at these increasingly high costs.

I don't know yet if its because Hasbro are maybe charging more so retailers are having to raise prices to keep their profit margins or if its a Smyths issue. As soon as they are in store though I'll be able to check the company purchase price and see if it has raised. I won't be able to share the price but I will at least be able to give an explanation as to why the prices have increased, seemingly only for Smyths in some cases
