I think we have to wait and see. I suspect May releases have already been produced and orders for output from factory's made a few months in advance.
It may be numbers produced are smaller or suspendetd altogether I suspect a long trade war between US/China will calm down eventually but its...
Based in the UK I will hopefully be able to get one shipped from Asia. I will go online tomorrow. I got the Persian elephant so only right I should get a German one!
But above all let this madness stop before it kills our beloved hobby.
Go to Treefrog Treasures. Great service, got an order on route to the UK now. Great for getting items released years ago and not in stock with other dealers.
Comprehensive stock, fast and friendly service. The 20% import duty is a bummer in the UK but when living in Australia I never paid...
It will impact on us all. If manufacturers are not able to export to their biggest market then they too could go out of business or scale back production.
So we are not sitting pretty in the UK.
Still convinced this is short term and some sanity will return.
Yep I feel bad for US dealers and collectors. However, things change quickly at the moment so this might not stick for long.
Yep have the same experience, always get caught for customs in the UK when ordering from the States but hardly ever direct from HK and China.
Got my sets from Fareham in the UK in those far off days. Almost as quick ordering direct from HK, but not quite.
Next stop for me was the early releases of the Coss and Crecent range. Different style to the ACW sets
This was my first venture into K&C and I got all the figures and JG Miniatures made a scenic base for the bridge. Still got it all in storage in NZ.I even have the brochure!
Gone for all of the above I have a print of the painting hanging in my dining room. Its above our piano and my wife is not too keen on it when she plays. She is classically trained and does sound wonderful. I doubt I can place any figures on top of the piano though.
