Between that and all the stores that are holding off on resets until the 5th and or 6th were definitely in for a challenge But won’t stop me first thing Monday Morning and each Morning this week until I find em lol

Nothing like two or three days before launch basically going “haha good luck guys!” I’m not playing this game nor resorting to paying scalper prices. I’ll find them at the closest store to me or I won’t have them.

People on here can bitch if they want but this makes perfect sense. I don’t want to go into a Walmart in 2022 and still see 10 Brandi figures I’m begging them to bump the chase up to 1000 pieces though

I get what Jeremy is saying but its kind of two sided,sucks if theirs not enough figures to go around at launch or for the 1st wave,but on the other hand if you flood the mark and have figures sitting on shelves for months on end without moving that could kill the line before it ever truly takes off.
Hopefully most Wal Marts get like 3 or 4 cases for the launch next week and then that's it,see how well they sell and then place more order to restock if and when their stock in the store goes down.
Another thing they can do is make sure on who their putting into the series will sell,don't just put the whole roster in figure former.You have to pick in choose who you know will sell and who you think will sell.Need to have some anchors to the brand to keep the product moving like Cody,Jericho,Omega,Moxley,Lucha Bros,Young Bucks...ect those guys will sell and should have multiple figures in the waves to come.

I don’t see the big problem myself. If you want additional figures that much you can still order any of them on Ringside for not much more than store cost.

I preordered the two I must have from Series 1 and the 1 from Series 2 that was my must have from RSC. So if I see them while out I may buy the others (more so when series 2 hits) if not I will pass on the ones I didn’t want enough to preorder.

Young Bucks: Pretty good figures. Matt’s head is a bit bobbly but no big deal. As I mentioned with the double fists, I swapped some hands. I get the double fists for posing but I prefer the variety. Nick’s right hand is from Jericho. Is it me or does the chest, torso, shoulders and arms of The Bucks have all different skin tones?

Still haven’t gotten tracking for Bucks plus Cody and Kenny are still on Received Information.

Makes sense from a business standpoint to not oversaturate the market that leads to rotting inventory and lost faith from retailers right outta the gate. Then again, the manufactured demand is gonna make highly-sought-after figs that much harder to find.
The moral of the story: perhaps they should have held off on the chases/rares until that peak balance was established...?

My bad lighting and photography brings it out.

I completely agree with Jeremy's point, and I think interest in the line and AEW on the whole has surpassed expectations.
At the same time, let's not panic yet. Jeremy also knows how to drum up excitement. I think these figures will definitely sell fast, but hopefully there is enough to go around that people aren't upset that they can't find them.

Lower part on all figures is rubber or at least rubber coated. I personally love it. It fills out the lower torso so there isn’t gapping, but also doesn’t hinder the articulation.
