The email I got said either shipping soon, or shipping on a date that was 3 or 4 weeks ago.  So I assume it was a legit shipping soon email.

Oh don't worry, I'm buying them!  I'm just not going to also buy other figures to get cloaks for these.

I'm 95% sure we'll get cloaked versions for Ray Stevenson, then uncloaked and cloaked versions for Rory McCann.

I’m just going to wait two months and pick up the caped variants that are 100% going to happen.

I quit collecting Super 7 a few years back and sold all my ReAction figures.  I loved that line at $10 and tolerated it at $15, but I was out at $18… now it’s even more than that.  I just couldn’t justify it anymore.

Got a Pulse email that Baylan is shipping soon. 

Edit:  Shin and Yord too.

Without making this political, the president seems to be giving in a bit for the moment.  Yesterday he walked back comments about wanting to fire Jerome Powell, and said that some tariffs would remain in place on China but far less than we have now.  He seems to be at least slightly aware that this isn’t causing anything but harm, including costing him political capital. 

I’m not convinced he’ll feel that way in a week, but at least there seems to be a little bit of movement in the right direction.

Apparently a bunch of CEO’s went to Washington to warn that we were potentially just a few weeks away from empty shelves in the US.

Companies might also raise prices on non-tariffed existing stock as a way to reduce the amount they have to raise prices on incoming stock.  Like, they can opt to sort of spread the pain out a bit.

I probably won't care enough to do that. :)

Oh cool.  I just went and ordered another old Gideon before people catch on and they get more scarce.

Now that I’ve done that, a helmet less version is a guarantee.

Of my Snowtrooper preorders with EE, three have shipped.  The remaining have jumped a whole
dollar to $17.99 each.

So, not a prohibitive jump up to this point.

Amazing preorders will be interesting to watch… like you said they offer a guarantee but I have a hard time believing there won’t be a limit for them on what they’re willing to absorb if the prices really do jump 100-plus percent.

Again, really hoping all this nonsense is cleared up before then...

Same.  I have little faith that it will be though, but I'd be happy to be wrong.

I spun all the tariff talk from a couple different threads into one - not surprised to see EE follow the same path as BBTS.  Pretty sure others (are there really any others these days?) will follow suit as well.  Amazon and Pulse can probably hold out longer given their sizes.

Let's hope it all gets resolved to some level of satisfaction before it starts to really cause issues (thinking about how tariff charges may impact my ability to get that HasLab Cantina this Fall).

Oof, I hadn’t even thought about the Cantina.  145% tariffs on that are going to cause a real nightmare.

Yeah, the price increases ripple through the whole process.  EE or BBTS buy from Hasbro and Hasbro isn’t going to absorb all of this, so they pass it on to whoever buys it from them whether that’s us directly or other stores.
