When I have free time and Cash,
I'm going to test this with something
cheap.


Regardles, be aware this is a posiblity
for the future.

Keep us posted. I?m very curious how this will work. I have 10 crimson guards ordered and would love to have an idea of how much . I?m ok with paying a little more to get them but if it?s 125%. That would suck

I’m certainly no expert, but given the way these sites work, I don’t know if they’ll pop on the Tariff radar. We’re not exactly importing goods in a commercial sense. Just bring parcels from our Chinese penpals

The irony will be if everyone starts ordering classified from AliExpress to circumvent domestic tariff pricing

I also find it interesting that the last bout of SW preorders are holding steady on pricing. It would be a bad look to raise prices on the back end, though I guess Hasbro has largely moved much manufacturing to Vietnam, so maybe that’s the secret

This Makes the most sense to me.

The terrifying part is Whack a Mole Tariff is the
best case scenario right now unless things change.


I'm hoping that's what I see.

I was under the impression May 1st they close the loophole that allows you to get stuff so cheap from Temu, Aliexpress, etc. Saw something saying they'd be subject to a $75 tariff.

I guess we?ll see. Wonder what that does to preorders?

Been wondering myself on overseas items. I have a ton of pre-orders with AmiAmi and I've heard nothing. And they're usually stingy as hell when you cancel a pre-order so it could wind up costing me thousands extra.

Didn't even think of 145% tariffs on Chinese goods back when I made them. Who did? I'd hate to be penalized because of this clownshow.

I only have a handful of preorders with CTC, so if shit isn?t resolved by then, and I lose all that money, it won?t be financially devastating. But that?s another reason to hate prepaid preorders

Lucky mine aren't pre-paid. It's just that it's hard to cancel them from alot of Japanese sites.

My difficulty with this line is they are totally mini versions of the Classified figures, many of which have the goofy shin guards and that blue coms thing on their shoulder strap.
