June 12th Updates
Hello, folks! I am back from my trip across the pond. London and its surroundings are amazing places to visit. The Plastic Warrior was showcased in a village called Twickenham, which hosted an all-plastic toy soldier exhibition. It was a small venue, but it attracted a large crowd. I was quite busy and sold a significant number of plastic toy soldiers! Just across the river lies Richmond on Thames, a delightful area to explore. It is also the filming location for the fictional show “Ted Lasso,” featuring Ted as the soccer coach of the imaginary “Richmond Football Club.” I took my daughter on a long trek through many miles of London and numerous pubs! We even made it to the “Mayflower” Pub, located near where the Puritans planned their voyage before eventually landing in Plymouth, Massachusetts. So much history to uncover! Another fascinating spot was the Grenadier. The Grenadier pub in Belgravia, London, boasts a rich history dating back to 1720 when it served as the officers' mess for the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards. The name honors the Grenadiers who fought at the Battle of Waterloo. Well, that’s enough about London; now, on to hobbies!
We have some exciting announcements! Thomas Gunn has just unveiled a variety of new toy soldiers, including Royal Archers, Professor Jones, Gestapo, and German Marder crews. King and Country sent out their dispatches a bit late this month, but they are now available for pre-order. The new offerings include French Line (Napoleonics), Falklands War editions, and WWII US grease monkeys to service your aircraft!
We received a large shipment of games over the past week, including new board games, RPGs, and more. This shipment features the new 28mm figures and the 2nd Edition rules for Baron’s War. Additionally, we are now selling the MTG: Final Fantasy TCG, along with some One Piece and Pokémon products that have just arrived on the shelves.
Tariff Update: Over the past month or two, we have been absorbing tariff costs. Moving forward, new toy soldier items and restocks may incur an additional surcharge or experience a price increase without prior notice, or the item may be canceled. We can no longer absorb all of these costs. The Chinese tariffs have been reduced to 30% for 90 days. Consequently, we will have to suspend importing new stock and restocks from some Chinese makers until these tariffs are reduced. Our costs will exceed the retail price. We are not saying we won't be ordering again; we just won't be placing orders at this time. We cannot honor any discounts currently. We have already raised our minimum order amount to $129.99 to qualify for the FREE SHIPPING THRESHOLD. Some items, such as tanks and airplanes, will likely incur an additional "oversize shipping" fee of $9.99. To date, we have paid approximately $10,000.00 in tariffs!
Our Free Shipping threshold has gone up to $129.99.
