    Tariffs & Model Airliner Prices

    Exactly right, there is no predicting what will actually take place. If it happens, it will be a wild ride in not a good way. If calmer heads prevail it's business as usual. But the shock and awe of just the thought of the impending tariff puts retailers and small businesses into a panic mode...

    AK just dropped off a little restock on some of them if some folks are still looking.

    Tariffs & Model Airliner Prices

    Very much so. Also if you have a local shop that has an actual brick and mortar store you might want to support and shop local. These shops, us included, have higher operating costs, and typically already struggle to keep prices lower in bearing the extra costs. So going into the holiday season...

    Tariffs & Model Airliner Prices

    It’s been fragile all year since the tariff game has been toyed around with since February/March. But if this has any staying power the hobby is unfortunately doomed. There is only so much distributors and retailers can absorb. Those of us who get direct from the manufacturers have been getting...

    Didn't last long, but AK is bringing me a couple more of most everything tomorrow. He had a little back supply set aside for me if we sold out quick.

    Well if you believe him or not, and I think personally they will stick as they have been playing this game all year and now he is done with the game playing with China. It could potentially kill the hobby in North America. This is not good for anyone in the US right before the holiday shopping...

    Just put a similar item in your cart and it will automatically calculate shipping to you. It’s all zoned based. Paresh will also get them and he’s out of BC. Not sure when he will get them. I did hear there are Canada Post delays again with another strike?

    They are really the cheapest they will get, cheaper than any other new release that are currently coming from any other manufacturer. Waffle will not carry them as he isn’t an authorized retailer of Aeroclassics. We will have them up tomorrow at 4pst

    The one thing I can recommend. On the grand ballroom layout, those reserved tables you should black out or mark reserved, a few have asked where we will be so they know so they can request being near us or a group of us, thus when signing up they can pick the table locations desired.

    How many times we need to educate some sellers or retailers how to properly pack models

    To be fair, as a retailer, a good deal of our shipments coming China direct are shoved in boxes with some filler. But the outer sleeves of the boxes are not going to be minty. And we run a retail store, so boxes get handled by retail customers, models are looked at, so from a retailer standpoint...

    Maybe we will put together a trade night at the store???? I will have to ponder that one, if interest seems to be there..
