Speaking to the investors during Hasbro’s 2021 First Quarter Financial Results Conference Call, the toy giant stated that the company will raise toy prices to counter the rising raw material costs.

“Hasbro Inc (HAS.O) said on Tuesday it would raise prices of toys and games to counter higher raw material costs as the company sees surging demand for its Nerf blasters and board games from families spending more time at home.

Shares of the Monopoly maker, which late on Monday announced the sale of Entertainment One Music to Blackstone Group Inc (BX.N) for $385 million, rose 1% in morning trading.”

“Freight and input cost increases have become more pronounced over the past several months, and we have plans in place to help mitigate those costs, including price increases for the second half of the year,” Hasbro Chief Financial Officer Deborah Thomas said.

The toymaker, like most U.S. manufacturers, has had to contend with rising resin, packaging and metal prices, as well as soaring transportation costs due to high demand and supply disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s been a while since we heard something from the G. I. Joe Live Action Movie front. But this time, it’s not about what’s in the future.

Speaking to Uproxx, Director Jon M. Chu talked briefly about several mistakes made during his stay for G. I. Joe: Retaliation. Unlike Christopher Eccleston; who utterly despise his role on the franchise, Mr. Chu is proud and happy to be a part of it. In fact, he wishes that Retaliation could have been better.

Okay, so what specifically did you learn during G.I. Joe: Retaliation that helped you make Crazy Rich Asians?

Well, we had so many characters! I had to serve so many characters from the last movie. It was like, “this is a reboot but it’s also a sequel.” And I’m like what does that freaking mean? We want to redo this whole tone, but yet you’re giving me 18 characters I have to serve. And then we are bouncing around the world and I have to keep up with them. And we were in it and it was so hard to focus on somebody’s journey that we could root for. I mean, I love the movie, I just learned a lot about juggling multiple storylines in there and how to put your foot down when it becomes too much. So, you learn those lessons by the mistakes you make and you have to get better.

Jon M. Chu’s latest movie Crazy Rich Asians is out now with largely positive reviews. We wish the director the best.
