I buy alot of retro Joe stuff from the USA and i read sometime ago that you can't buy used toys anymore starting sometime in Feb ,but there is alot of loopholes in the law from what i read and it is convoluted with a bunch of legal "gobblygook" i can't make sense of ?
I like collecting retro toys so does this mean i can't buy stuff from the USA anymore ? |

No, this new law only applies to new items that are still packaged and sold at retail. Don't worry about used toys as they aren't covered in this

The law covers old toys apply IF they are over the established limits.
You can't sell used toys that have more lead or whatever than the law says is ok. If you do, you can be fined/sued/etc.

How can you tell how much Lead an old Figure has without Testing it,and how many Sellers can pay to have a $10 Figure Tested?You would have more $$ in the Testing than the Figure's worth,it just doesn't make sense to me at all.I hope this doesn't put a Stop to my Collecting,because all I Collect is the ARAH Style Figure's.
