Just wanted to hear people's thoughts on what the tariffs could do to our 'Made In China' hobby? Fire away...
America first.
Amen to that. A vast amount of these “collectibles” have become overpriced garbage. Sure, if you’re truly a fan of something, you’ll find a way to justify it. But it’s gettig harder and harder to do that.Fishing stuff from China already went up. Buy American you say? And pay more middlemen? Nay! Not gonna pay fishing lure that cost $12 when he can pay $4 with free shipping. And they're mostly made in China, like lots of stuff, anyway.
What about the toys and statue collectible, you say? They're continuously over priced. The more ES and products they produced, the more they're worthless, in the end.

Personally, I’ve cut back spur of the moment purchases. That’s not a positive thing for a business. They want those top of the pile sales, the ones that were indecisive, but ultimately a fair price and decent reception swayed them. Good luck with that going forward, while actually losing bulk sales from your target demographic(s) as well.
