    May releases

    No one in the US will work for $1 or $2 and hrs, too right they should not, i also think the wages in China are higher than that, as these are skilled or not semi skilled painters. They can get paid that because of the cost of loving there. The main reason for moving was cost, but that was...

    I did some work for a TS company and over twice the amount of stock went to the USA than it did to the rest of the world combined. Can you name a country which would be bigger?

    Serious Tariff Question

    I think a pause on the forum on tariffs might be good for us all. Too much speculation, i think it is a concensus that they are a bad thing. You should wait to see what happens to prices, if they have stayed the same then that is a win, if not and they rise then each individual collector will...

    Serious Tariff Question

    All this is called Capitalism, i agree we do need to stop the cheaper postal services, which was established to support a young Chinese manufacturing industry in the 1970s and early 80s, but i do not think anyone can argue that anymore. It was the companies in the USA and Western Europe who...

    Serious Tariff Question

    On Fox News they said Trump knows what he is doing and he has a plan, but they also said after his phyiscal he was 6ft 3 inchs tall and weighted 224 pounds. I checked - Chris Hemsworth is 6ft 3 inches tall and weights 215 pounds, and they look like twins. i see 2 ways this could change in the...

    Julie normally puts them on mid month and not very often when there is a Monday update, which we had yesterday, i could be proved wrong, hopefully. Releases would have been planned months in advance, so hopefully see them soon, agree on the current political climate, but that is in the US...

    Serious Tariff Question

    Could be 3 to 5 prices? Pre Tariff - current prices Tariff Prices - New stock Tariff Prices - Restocking Post Tariff - if and when the tariffs come off - depends if they completely come off or the % comes down. Therefore when the dust settles there could be a blip in prices for stuff released...

    John Jenkins and First Legion, TGM and Britain,s Dealers......................

    Agree - i think people do not realise how this global interdependent has kept us relatively peaceful, just heard on BBC Radio an historian say one of the main things that has kept China from invading Tiawan was the threat of losing the US market for its goods and products. Something Trump has...

    What Toy Soldier items Have You Acquired in The Last 2 Weeks ?

    Cheers, no they are painted when i bought them, i think they look quite traditional, the paint seems to be more like powered paint simply mixed with water, i know nothing about types of paint, except for those I have used on the plastic kits i made. See below pictures i found online from a Toy...
