Well the hobby shop isn't paying the tariff, Round2/Revell/Moebius/et al are, they're the importer of their own product. It's then sold to distributors who sell down to hobby shops so the tariffs are being absorbed across a few different layers. Given the tariffs are being paid on the wholesale level the $6 might be a 100% pass through rate when you're considering a singular tariff charge on an entire container of products...when that's then split back down over thousands of units...

Manager at my LHS told me that most of his distributors have asked him to accept smaller margins on the products he sells.  He cannot make enough money to stay in business by doing this.

IMO no one at any level will be willing to absorb the additional cost due to the tariffs.  The end consumer will foot the bill.

This showed up today, from Round 2 at a good price with free shipping since I bought the glue ($50 and over). Any tips on the glue? Haven't used this one before.
