I was just messaging with our main distributor, most can guess. And these next releases will be at the March pricing, so essentially at the 5% markup that was implemented last month. any retailer marking above that is doing it on their own. After that it will be the unknown. So if there is a...

We haven’t gotten any flak, I can’t speak for other retailers, though some have jumped the gun prematurely and already raised prices on current inventory. We won’t raise prices again until we see it on paper, that could be next week or whenever. But we will never adjust prices on inventory we...

I think everyone right now is caught up in the 'What if??' ... Nobody really knows, and won't know until, again we start seeing invoices. AK was in the store today dropping off new releases for Friday and the Friday releases will be $4 more per model. The speculating is just that, speculating...

$160?? Narrowbody releases would be @ $44

It was a topic of discussion this weekend at the Seattle Aviation Expo. The only price hikes that have been seen are the ones that ADI(Gemini) have done on the last round of new releases, and that was 5%. The manufacturers haven't received their next rounds of new releases on US soil yet, so the...

It would effectively kill this hobby and many more hobbies and businesses. A $45 to a $90 model in theory would bury the hobby for sure.

More food for thought as we have also asked NG about the NG exchange program. As one of their exchange retailers if we are going to be tariffed/taxed on those (free) models, they have to actually put a value on them. We have told NG, that if that is happening, and we don’t see away around that...

Squatchy’s of course will be there

We got our releases today from AK, a day late as I was out of the store on Friday, but we have them up on our site.

Dragon Wings/ Jet-X are now back on sale 30% off

Yeah he is something special alright…..

Different brands are on sale at different times. We are cycling through different brands/sales to thin out the herd. The only thing that’s on sale right now is Corgi. If you follow us in facebook and instagram you will see what’s on sale. It’s not a forever sale on any one brand.

We hope everyone pulls through as again it will put folks that were already running close to the edge, most likely over the top or out of the retailing business. We aren't going anywhere unless it just dries up completely as a hobby. We will have to go along with the trend and have to adjust...

Yes retailers like us are in a very precarious state right now. As one distributor told me on the phone the other day, ‘we are in a very fragile state right now’ as they are trying to do their best not to raise prices, but will have to. We got our first invoice yesterday with the added tariff...

It will also depend on how we, as retailers, get our product. From what we understand, if it's via courier (FedEx, UPS), that should bypass any tariffs. If it's coming via overseas container then it would be subject to the tariffs and taxes. So for US retailers, that would be Gemini(ADI). We...
