I believe this price hike was coming tariffs or not. Anybody remember that survey Hasbro put out a year or so back? Several of those questions had to deal with price increases. IMO, Hasbro is just using the tariffs as a convenient cover for a price increase that they had already planned.

That's the majority? I've always felt like the oddball here because I rarely buy anything at full retail price.
