Wal-Mart: "We don't appreciate ultimatums, we no longer have need of any of your products."

Hasbro: "Well crap, now we've just lost a billion+ dollars a year in revenue in 10 seconds."

So no....Hasbro can't tell stores not to sell above MSRP. In point of fact, once its' in the retailers' hands, they can sell it for whatever price they want, and Hasbro can't really do a thing about it. The retailers are the ones with nearly all the power in that relationship, and without their support Hasbro would cease to exist rather quickly.
