Hi everyone,
Gunho here from Bad Comet. I hope you’ve been doing well! We have a few exciting updates to share—our long-awaited US restock of Wondrous Creatures, a limited-time free shipping promotion, and a quick heads-up about some recent tariff changes that might affect board game prices in the near future.🙂
Let’s dive in!
🌿 Wondrous Creatures Restock
Wondrous Creatures—sold out since January due to high global demand—has finally been restocked in the US!
Recently, the US government has started imposing steep tariffs on goods manufactured in China. Fortunately, our second print run of Wondrous Creatures cleared customs just in time—on April 7, two days before the new, over-100% tariff took effect on April 9. We were still hit with a 20% tariff, but we definitely dodged a bullet!
Despite the additional cost, we’ve decided not to raise the price of the game for this restock. If the higher tariff rates remain in place, we may need to adjust prices in the future—but for now, everything stays the same. I’ll go over this in detail in a bit.
In the meantime, you can purchase the newly restocked Wondrous Creatures right now on our official website.
🚚 Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 (US Only)
Here’s another exciting update! To celebrate the second print run of Wondrous Creatures, we’re offering free shipping on all orders over $99 placed through our official website. (Certain regions such as HI, GU, PR, and VI is excluded.)
For now, this offer is currently limited to the US, but we’re exploring ways to offer similar benefits in other regions as we coordinate with each restock. Stay tuned for more updates as we work with each region’s restock schedule.
📦 A Quick Note on Tariffs
As many of you may already know, the US is imposing a 145% tariff on products made in China. Like most board game publishers, we manufacture our games in China, so these changes directly affect us.
If these tariffs remain in place, it may become necessary to adjust our pricing going forward. The cost of shipping materials is also rising, which could impact how long we’re able to continue our free shipping promotions.
We know this is a challenging time with multiple risks on the horizon, and the tariff situation is changing quickly. We're monitoring the situation closely and doing everything we can to make the best decisions as things evolve. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
Thanks for sticking with us through this update. Your support means everything to us, and we’re so excited to get Wondrous Creatures back into your hands!
Until next time,
Gunho
