Hasbro Price Increases On Hold!?!

We wanted to shoot out a quick update on Hasbro price increases that we have been reporting on in recent days due to Tariffs.

So first, note from everything I am hearing this is a very chaotic situation that seems to be rapidly changing by the minute. So in other words what I say now could change 5 minutes from now.

HasbroPulse last night at midnight switched all their recent pre-orders to unavailable which is where things stand at this moment.

Other Etailers for the most part have not adjusted their prices on anything and from what I can tell are basically in a wait and see mode.

The general consensus seems to be that everyone is hopeful we could see tariffs reduced this weekend as China and the U.S. meet for the first time to discuss the Trade situation. Trump this morning on his Truth Social after yesterday in a press conference threatening to hit Mattel with a 100% Tariff suggested he was open to reducing the China Tariffs to 80% (which is still high, but a sign of hope I guess a deescalation of the Trade War will soon happen).

I have been told by several folks that communication between retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers isn't great at the moment in part because no one really knows whats going to happen due to all the chaos that has been happening with Tariffs.

So as I said this is a very fluid situation which could change at any moment, but for now its looks like you will either see a temporary pause on new pre-orders from retailers or they will hold at current prices until they get more clarification from Hasbro who is probably waiting to see what happens this weekend.

We will update this story as it develops.
