Pulse is back and running as usual… no price changes that I see. I suppose the 90 day extension has made changes unnecessary for now.

Does the color scheme have some Disney significance that I’m missing? It feels random for a big anniversary…

Just got Obi-Wan and the Super Commandos, so I guess I'm done with this wave. Both of them are perfectly well done, but bland additions to the line. Obi-Wan's lightsaber seems a hair short maybe?

« on: May 12, 2025, 03:45 PM »The current tariff rollback is for 90 days. The treasury secretary said that a more permanent agreement was currently being negotiated between the U.S. and the Chinese.
So tired of these temporary fixes... 75 Day reprieves from the TikTok ban... 90 more days to fix Chinese Tarriffs... 30 day ceasefires... 60 or 90 day government funding extensions so we can barely avert a shutdown four times a year...
I wish things could occasionally just get fixed.

I wonder what happened to moving-manufacturing-back-to-the-US... but this is for the best if it keeps things stable. People can incentivize US manufacturing with more carrots and fewer sticks.

I’d expected to wake up this morning to Pulse preorders being available again at new prices. Now I’m wondering if everyone is in a wait and see mode since the US and China are both saying they made some progress over the weekend at resolving at least some of this…

I’d expect them to get around to making The Stranger at some point, but I have a hard time imagining them doing more beyond that.

All of the newest preorders are temporarily unavailable on Amazon as well.
They’re all updating all the pricing no doubt.

I suspect Target had policies about how long they will keep preorders for. Especially in an environment where the import cost is going to be significantly higher.

Yeah feel like Target has done this once or twice before if I remember right, it's not like Amazon where they just delay the ship date indefinitely. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's not coming or will be impossible to find.

Me too, and the actual shortages and price shocks haven’t even hit yet. It’s likely to be very very bad.

That feels light on actual information. It just says… prices are going up but we’re going to give you better sculpts and prettier packaging?
Ok.
