Effective Sept. 1, Hasbro, whose brands include Playskool and Littlest Pet Shop, will raise prices in the mid-single digits in percentage terms to protect its margins, said David Hargreaves, chief operating officer and chief financial officer. Probably wont be more than about $.50 - $1.00 as far as Muggs are concerned, but a price raise is a price raise. Edit: though I would expect this to moreso affect places like BBTS, and Urban Outfitters who already overprice their Muggs. Woulnt be surprised to see a $5 increase in their prices just because. |

Since BBTS is now an official sponsor of the Lounge, all I can say is XXXX XXX if they XXXXX XXX XXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX X and if they ever XXXXXXXX XXXX XXX XXXXXX because in my opinion BBTS XXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXX!!! So I recommend that all Loungers XXXXX XXXXXXXX BBTS and XXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX. There, it was just something that needed to be said.  |

They said it would be a 5% increase, so Muggs would increased to about 10.49, the price that TRU sells them.

I believe elsewhere on the board the rumors were that the Transformers Muggs would be going for 10.99 - guess this just solidifies that. Hopefully they stay in that 10.99 price range for a while.

well this will most likely be the straw that broke the camels back - or in my case mine. Down under prices already stretch me - so from now on it looks like i will be even more selective in the muggs i go for - the challenge will be in deciding which ones.

This is bad. Mighty Muggs is priced as $14.99CAD in Canada TRU.
I think Wal Mart Canada is selling for 14.99 as well or 12.99 I can't recall since there's only 1 or 2 Star Wars muggs warming shelf.
