Thinking about what Hasbro might reveal tonight... crazy that these 4 figures were pipelined as part of the HasLab Cantina reveal over ten months ago (6/7/24).  Luke has already been revealed, pre-ordered, and shipped (and been double-dipped as a DLX) but we've basically heard nothing yet on the other three.  I am hoping we get a look at them soon and they are planned to get here about the same time as the Cantina.


I'm also wondering how the next round of reveals will go.  Will they do pre-ordering in the immediate future for anything they reveal tonight or will they postpone the pre-orders to a later date to try and get more stability on the tariff situation?

Rob:
Yeah I was wondering the same Jeff.

I have a hard time seeing them taking preorders again without clarity (which does not seem likely any time soon) or a price increase to account for all this instability. 

So I’m thinking basic figures are either $19.99 or we’re waiting until later and they’ll still cost that or more.

Anything we get preorder at $17.99 is a win for the moment.

Nicklab:
I think a lot of people saw that note that BBTS sent out where they were reserving the right to raise preorder prices in order to compensate for the import tariffs.

But then I wonder about the big retailers - Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, etc.  If they accept a preorder at a certain price, are they bound by the terms of the sale agreement to deliver it at that price?  I know Amazon has their preorder price guarantee.  But US customers and retailers didn't have this kind of situation to navigate before the current situation.

Rob:
I could see everyone walking back their existing preorders.  They're not in the habit of losing money to get product out to us.
