Not content with merely raising prices to cover costs, toy company has to make a statement. How's that been working out?

These “Toys” cost $80.00 to $130.00 dollars now. I wont be buying any of them.

The toy industry switched to mainland Chinese production after places like Mexico and Taiwan were not profitable enough, the old Macao and Hong Kong "independent protectorates" being the fig-leaf gateways that lulled people into thinking it was all benign.

There has been a recent trend to having diecast toys made in Indonesia... but in factories set up and run by the - wait for it - Chinese. "Outsourcing the outsourcing," so to speak.

So they are jacking up the prices on pre-tariff goods they have in warehouses and containers in the US?

the ones I foolishly gave away to the kids to “play with” years ago were made in the USA. when they were turned into a box of tiny car parts we threw them out. they weren’t collectables then. never ever bought the junk made somewhere else.

Maggots took over the toy company of my youth. Now they’re a far-left political crapshoot.

Make them Chinese kids pay top dollar for US made toys. They’re the best!

The world keeps spinning round & round. What goes up must
come down. Change is ever occurring and adaption keeps its
part of the cycle. In a few years into the future humans will
be taking pills/shots for daily nutrition. Living in outer space
circling the globe will be the normal procedure.
