    Tracking toy tariffs

    I almost bought that one. I know nothing about My Hero Academy, but I thought she looked cute. I did get the one with the muscular thighs and rabbit ears. Buying random anime girls has gotten more expensive.

    Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

    I once sent a guy a refund for a lost package. Of course the package starts moving right after I send the refund. It was delivered and the guy was super nice, he bought two more items from me that equaled the original sale and told me not to send them. We couldn't think of an easier way because...

    I'm sure this has been done before, but it popped up recently on my Instagram and YouTube. I don't know if I would call it a dramatic improvement, but a simple upper thigh notch does add a little flair.

    Loyal Subjects MASK toy line

    I forgot Scott and T-Bob are adding $50 to the price of an individual exclusive Rhino. I was thinking people might be better off waiting on Amazon because their price is at most only $10 more than the BBTS bundle. They still might be, if they don't care about those two or they can grab the...

    Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

    I take a look at the feedback a buyer has left for other sellers. Too much complaining or negativity and I'll cancel the sale. Oops, inventory error. I've weeded out only a few people, and got burned on one of the times I didn't look before shipping. Lot's of red flags on that one. Overall, I...

    Storm Collectibles

    Scooby figures dropped into the POL about three minutes ago. I wanted to hit the ship button asap, but I guess I'll wait.

    Jada Street Fighter

    I heard they have Yoko as E Honda and thought that might be a fun combo. Then I saw the picture. Probably the best one is Ultimate Warrior as Blanka, but that has the negativity of being another Ultimate Warrior figure. They might get me to buy Bianca in a store if they catch me in the right...

    LAAT/i Gunship Haslab

    I was wondering how people feel displaying this large Haslab Gunship with the smaller ones they already own. Will it work for them? I have a large AT-AT standing on the floor, but my two smaller AT-ATs aren't standing next to it. They're in the closet.

    G.I. Joe Reaction+

    About 10 years ago my Mom's two 90+ year old aunts passed away very close together, like a week apart. We were very close, trying to help out, taking them to appointments, groceries, etc. They owned a two family house, one aunt lived on each floor until age made it difficult to walk up a flight...

    Did the package disappear from tracking? If it did, put in a claim on USPS com. It tends to light a fire under USPS and they magically find the package when there's a chance they have to pay out the insurance.

    General Toys on Sale

    My nearest Ollie's about 15 minutes away down the highway is in a town of 3,700. It's on the town line with another city of 7K (yes, it's designated a city). My city is 38K. That town used to have Ames and KB Toys, now they have Tractor Supply Co and a soon to open Marshal's. I've been hunting...

    It's on display about an hour to the north of me at Red Five Collectibles in Longmeadow, Mass. From their FB: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1C8CwrdrWE/

    Tracking toy tariffs

    Printed Circuit Boards. These guys are saying they need to determine the amount and type of metal on a board or they pay 100% tariff? This is hard to believe. Someone must be misinterpreting the rules or the rules were written by a complete idiot...

    Jada Street Fighter

    I stayed strong so far and didn't buy. I don't pick up everything Cammy, but I'm enough of a fan to have handful of various figures/statues. I even kept the Sota Cammies after selling the rest of the collection pre-Jada (also kept a Sagat & Sakura). I admit, I occasionally pick odd hills to die on.

    He does mention it in his email, "If you’ve ever had any issues with hands or just need a few more,..." I wasn't sure what he was referring to.

    Action Force and Valaverse

    Vala is giving away sets of hands for free (2 per customer) and he has a sale coming up for the weekend, 15% off orders under $100, 20% off $100-$299, 30% off over $300. I haven't heard him comment about the free hands, but I'm guessing he's trying to prove hands aren't a major factor in cost...

    Not an expert, but Navarro really isn't that well respected. If you Google to get a gist of his background. He loses various elections in the San Diego area as a Democrat, writes some get rich quick stock trading books, becomes a tenured professor where he notices an influx of Chinese students...

    Jada Street Fighter

    This is why I usually don't buy from EE, $12.95 for "Super Saver Shipping" that will take over a week to get to the East Coast. One figure $48.85. Two Cammy's would've been $19.95 for shipping. I bought three 1/6 Cammy's and two extra head sculpts in the last 6 months. I'm having second...

    Rightwing economist Stephen Moore standing with Trump as he points to a chart with the subtitle "Medium Income". I graduated from a four year college with a minor in economics and even I know that is wrong. Can you guess which of these guys once owed $300K in spousal and child support? Trump...

    Tracking toy tariffs

    I've been ordering from Japan for slightly over 20 years. I might be thinking of a different store, but I swear my first orders with HLJ were paid with a money order. For some reason, I think HLJ had a PO Box in Maryland or Delaware for payments? Looking back, it's so funny sending so many...

    S.H. Figuarts Marvel Figures

    Best to avoid a deposit when you can. I hardly ever use EE, but I'll need to get exclusive Jada Cammy from them. In fact, Jada Chun Li was my last shipment from them because I preordered from BBTS and EE and that reminds me, EE shipped Ryu after I canceled him when he landed in my POL.

    S.H. Figuarts Marvel Figures

    Yes, $9 for the tariff and I was estimating DHL shipping to be $25-$28. If the info on the DHL fee is correct, they charge either 2% of the item's value or $17, whichever is higher. I can't stress enough, I'm pulling this info from reddit 😆 If I could guarantee Amiami and BBTS were equal in...

    S.H. Figuarts Marvel Figures

    It's so hard to find reliable answers. I'm looking at DHL reddit and I'm seeing a handful of people say $17 + whatever the tariff percentage. That's not too bad, but then I see other people getting stuck with big invoices. I probably need to stay away from reddit. If $17 is correct, I would...
