Bucks are $50, if you Google image search them and see the jazwares vault link. Bryan is $30, so I guess they realized the $35 price wasn't working? Oh well. Already dropping prices on the single figures? Dropping prices of any kind in today's economy is unheard of. Hats off to them if true. They're also probably sitting on quite a bit of Claudio and Kenny that fueled this decision. Can't wait to get Danielson and eventually Danhausen.

Since AEW has a working relationship with NJPW, what are the possibilities regarding throwback ROH Bullet Club figures? Those Bucks figures would have been awesome with Bullet Club shirts and the BC shirts would have really helped move this two pack.

If the AEW and Jazwares relationship ended, no major manufacturer would sniff AEW at this point. Not even Todd and McFarlane (which I would actually like to see). AEW is just too cold.

I often see many collectors saying their stores were flooded with the Red Velvet wave. I have NEVER seen that set at retail here in Chicago.
All I still see is Nyla Rose (which was supposed to be "sent back" or whatever) and that Thunder Rosa in yellow. It's embarrassing.

Kicking off the Vault ROH line with Claudio and Kenny Omega is an eye roll when they have SAMOA JOE (who is also current AEW champion) at their disposal.
Stars that should have taken priority over putting Kenny, Claudio and Danhausen (sorry, though i love that Danhausen) into production...
Samoa Joe Bryan Danielson CHRISTOPHER DANIELS Roderick Strong NIGEL MCGUINESS Jay Lethal
I don't know. Maybe I'm the crazy one.

Need to give Jazwares and Jeremy credit here because
1) the website is an actual thing
2) the website seemed to work pretty decently
3) I am seeing more fans saying they got what they wanted than not
I logged on at the drop just to see if I could add to cart and was able to easily. Didn't buy anything, but am no longer sweating not being able to get Danhausen or ROH Danielson when they drop. So, I was wrong about the Vault that I believed was never going to come to fruition.

At this point in the line I am thinking every AEW figure is limited to 3000/5000. Seems like every store I go to only gets one case of each series. And even 3bay is scarce for figures that were only released a few months ago or a year ago. Along with ringside selling out in the first preorder and they don't order more On the subject of these "limited" figures. What do you think had a smaller quantity manufactured: ROH Kenny Omega or Supreme Series 2 Kenny Omega (not the Walmart exclusive, the actual one)?

Out of everything that we haven't got or never will, I don't think I'll be more bent out of shape over never getting the SCU Christopher Daniels to complete the team.

Have they addressed any anti-bot precautions? Or is the line dead to the point where scalpers don't even care?

If this was an ultimate, it would have been an instant NO.
But it being an Elite at a retail Elite price point with two shirts and nice packaging? Yeah, I think I got to get two.

You can count me in on an ROH Danhausen, ROH Danielson and Death Triangle 3-Pack.
BUT I am not going to lose any sleep on losing out on these if this Vault turns into a typical Jazwares fiasco on par with their other recent business decisions.

If the tease IS for the MC Ultimate CM Punk and it IS the MITB 2011 figure, Mattel better not skimp on this thing. This isn't Logan Paul or Cody Rhodes who had ellaborate accessories. So, Mattel needs to make up the difference...

Judging from this thread, I now consider myself lucky I got one. Opened right at 9 CST and added right to cart from my list. Walmart will undoubtedly cancel.
But given how readily available CM Punk was in my area, all hope won't be lost if it does get cancelled.

Ah yes, the Young Bucks wore these threads when they superkicked Punk's door to challenge Larry the dog to a 6-star banger match.

Crazy how folks can waste so much time and energy arguing about just about anything online.
This set rules. The strategy is smart for Mattel. Gives fans a chance at figures they couldn't get otherwise. Plus, they're RSC Exclusives, which means they'll eventually come down in price and you can scoop them during some sales.
Looking forward to who is going to be in future sets.

I'm getting frustrated that Ringside isn't getting a steady stock of AEW figures. After first pre-orders and first batch it seems they aren't ordering more or can't get them again? Also these back orders are getting ridiculous. Unmatched 8 has back orders out til mid may? Is this still due to the panama canal issue? Seriously getting hard to get figures these days... I would not be surprised if RSC scaled back its purchase orders of AEW figures. AEW figures were hot during that first year and the pandemic hyper inflated demand. But really, far worse than retail, RSC got stuck with so much stock that they had to always put on clearance. They had to stuff mystery boxes to move the figures. They STILL have Unrivaled 6 in stock. Baffling. I don't anticipate RSC ordering so much like they have in the past. Wondering how the Vault (if it ever sees the light of day) might affect the Jazwares/RSC relationship.

What are the chances that the Jazwares Vault is really just the friends we've met along the way and these exclusives end up in Burlington and ROSS.

The promise of new waves consistently on pegs starting in the fall and clearing out the old stock was a huge flop in many areas including mine. I'd like to know how we literally saw the language on the boxes telling stores to ship back all the old figures that don't sell yet all Targets around me still have Nyla Rose from 3 years ago.

I have zero confidence in Jazwares as a consumer, let alone the amount required to execute on a line as awesome as the old Jakks Classic Superstars.
Personally, I don't think there's a big enough market for mass-released retail non-WWE figures of old wrestlers. The talent pool could not support it. Online exclusives maybe? Anything is worth a shot. But, I present the so-called Jazwares Vault as exhibit A as to why I don't believe that would work either.
