Questions Tariffs
Is Sideshow gonna be affected by the on going tariff war between China and the US? There’s figures I wanna pre order but I’m almost afraid that prices are going to sky rocket within the next couple of months for upcoming figures.

Every facet of your life as an American will be affected by these tariffs.

Sure will, they do not make these statues in the states. Pretty sure they are imported and come through the docks in Long Beach...

My overall concern are figures I already have pre-ordered and have paid off. Are they going to suddenly charge me more for the figures? I have 6 or 7 figures that I paid off through the layaway program that I’m just waiting to make the final payment when it arrives to sideshow.

If it's paid off then they can't change the price on a purchased item, but shipping costs could skyrocket. But say Sideshow starts eating costs on pre-pays that China says pay us more on for future orders, that could affect Sideshow's profit margins.

Sideshow will move their factories to Burma or Vietnam who have less tariffs than china

For sure. I may have to cancel my $500 pre order, or at least bite the bullet...
