Don't get this thread sent to The Dark Rooms.

but what Wor-Gar said is true..? A tariff is a tariff. Trump made that decision and signed that order. Don't think he was being an a$$ at all, just stating the reality of what happened, no need to get bent about it.

Wor-Gar is absolutely correct. The only politician pushing for a tariff is the President. This is his vision for the country and his decision alone. Economists have chimed in that the increases will be paid by the consumer. We are beginning to see this cause and effect. Wor-Gar is simply holding accountable the person responsible for this price increase. To label him with a profanity is completely inappropriate.

ok , i'll leave so enjoy .

I am from Germany. Why should I pay more now because of Trump? Somehow the whole Alfred release was a disaster this time and doesn't reflect well on Kit. Even if he probably sees it differently. It was nothing this time.

It’s a shame you feel you need to leave. You don’t need to. Just be respectful of other’s points of view and treat them with civility.

An explanation for the $20 increase on Alfred.

I had to cut these up to remove the political element:

That's kind of odd. At one point I naively thought the US was the main audience for most American programs, until I found UK, Canada, Germany, Mexico.. etc. all had atrong viewership. The Uk more often than not, actually competes or even surpasses in its fans of "pure American" pop tv. One would think that would extend to collectibles too. But maybe not. Heck it may just be that things have gotten bad enough economically abroad over the last few years they've already cut back ahead of us. On top of everything else that happened last year, this new tariff has me seriously debating when is the nostalgia limit gonna be tipped? The camel's back is gonna break sometime.

Did something happen overnight I'm no doubt going to receive phone alerts about in a couple hours? Was something rescinded, a deal made or pigs fly? Enquiring minds wanna know.

Besides USPS starting to accept parcels from China again yesterday, I don't know of anything else.

This is the perspective from Giantoy on the USPS suspension and subsequent lifting of it, and the effect of tariffs:

(Kit also uses 4PX).
