Look at the Import Charges,
Yikes ‼️‼️

Products not going to be made anywhere ever again.

Even if the tariffs get lifted soon, shipping costs are already surging—a repeat of pandemic-era $20k containers isn’t out of the question.

Bottom line:

• It’ll definitely be pricier.
• And the Grinch’s name might be President Donald Trump.

Merry Christmas, folks. 🎄🎅

I wanna wish you a MAGA Christmas

Unpopular opinion I am sure but lots of plastic toys that break in a month aren’t worth the money, find an independent toy store and shop there-arts and craft items and books, sports equipment and creative things that interest and inspire children are better

While this is certainly true, those same tariffs apply to even high end board games from small manufacturers, so the point is moot. It's a dumb policy.

I get it, just trying to say be more thoughtful with your purchases-we all know the tariffs are bad😊
