Make no mistake Hasbro is equipped to weather the storm a few years even if they have to lay people off. They can survive until 2028. But smaller toy makers are going to go out of business in a year.

I mean Hasbro stopping preorders unilaterally isn?t enough of a hair on fire moment?

Hopefully the containers from Vietnam at least will ship. Selling preorders from its biggest market overseas could do some damage. Would there even be enough people abroad to buy the American orders? Sounds like hot exclusives in the US sit on Pulse UK and HK for months.

Very few people have pointed out that Hasbro can absolutely decide to not ship a single Rattler to the US for months and months and months until those tariffs die down, however - and would be 100% in the right for doing so. I'd be miserable, but I'd direct my anger at the situation at the responsible Party for this misery, which is not Hasbro.

Right, we signed the disclaimer, and we will get the product, but they are within their legal rights to hold all Haslabs until 2029. And fat chance of any new Haslabs going forward until there is no more uncertainty.

Target pays for the shipment of their exclusives. They are on the hooks for this tariffs X

They don?t want to pay a 145% markup so they?ll let the container collect dust and at best liquidate in Europe and Asia. That retro set is Pennies but the container with those figures
