Batista and Ali need to be saved. Reigns and Rollins will find there way into another wave, because we need more of them clogging shelves in those same attires, that have been released countless times.
Strongbow was practically released, it was a last minute pull. It should have been released, but a few people had to ruin it. Could be sold as a Ringside/Mattel Creations exclusive not at mass retail. There a bunch of other items when you go around from store to store that are probably worse than a wrestler portraying a native american gimmick.

What was needed for mass retail was a basic type wave at the 10-12 price point like Mattels basics with no chase pieces. then the UnMatched/Unrivaled waves every few months like there doing. Jeremy did so well with Jakks, but with AEW/Jazwares he can't get going on a good rhythm. Parents buy a kid a few basic figures at time, very rarely will they drop over 100.00 for a set of figures in one shot unless its gifts for birthday, holidays, maybe a once in a while treat etc. There sadly now are other priorities that are becoming more important than getting kids toys. Even Adult toy collectors are felling the money crunch. I haven't gotten to many just the ones I like. The shuffling line-ups didn't help either Alex Reynolds was in 2 Unmatched 8 line-ups then moved to 10. The Bunny debacle didn't help either first time figure to complete a trio as a chase. At least Billy Gunn as a 3 pack figure and a chase so there are 2 chances to get him.

Top Picks are guys that are main eventers, that are big sellers. It's also a way to get a few different attires out of guys as seen by the different Rey Mysterios, and a debut elite in Logan Paul
Greatest Hits are hard to get figures, previous store exclusives that were a nightmare to get, and some older elites that they still have the rights to like R-Truth,
Both waves have a good purpose as they don't go into the main elite lines, which gets us some other figures

I noticed on the Hogan description they mention Great Muta, Tatsumi Fuginami, and Antonio Inoki. Does anyone know if they're "allowed" to mention people they don't have rights to make figures of? They have the rights to Tatsumi Fujinami. It's always been a matter of them finding a spot for him. With a Japanese Hogan maybe one day we can get him. Inoki and Great Muta would also be good additions to the line.

Azeez was an immediate sellout on pre-order, I grabbed the set of basic 137 as it had 4 out 5 I wanted. Aliyah lingered for a while. Gigi and Jacy were part of a popular NXT group Toxic Attraction, featured regularly on TV and Premium live events, but went on back order immediately. Looks like any of the first time in the line guys are becoming more popular LA Knight, and Ludwig Kaiser, except a few Reggie, Xia Li, Top Dolla, Asahante Thee Adonis. Was hoping to get B-Fab hopeful for a damaged package to go up.
Some of the updates are a bit scarce Ciampa, Cody Rhodes, Austin Theory. Need to see what happens with the updated Dominik Mysterio, and Karrion Kross

DX Retro set looks pretty good. Pretty Deadly look good, easy preorder on them. Giovanni Vinci looks great. Butch is a nice update. Hopefully tomorrow we see some more new faces. Will get the SummerSlam set to build John Cone.

Since MOTU Origins is doing a fan favorite in their waves, would there be ways to get out some of the Masters of the WWE universe figures out that way that were tougher to get or has that ship sailed.
Without naming anyone will there be any half a tag teams completed in the near future.
Would Prob backdrops be possible Grayson Waller Effect, Piper's Pit, Barbershop?

MoonDogs, Powers of Pain, Steve Lombardi, Brooklyn Brawler, Iron Mike Sharpe, Conquistadors, all guys that were relevant on wrestling challenge and Superstars that LJN didn't produce. The guy who used to own Reds Pool store in NY claimed that Lombardi and the MoonDogs were in the works from LJN.

Target had me approve a delay on Brother Love Thursday, today the order was cancelled. Usually get about 5 delay approvals before they cancel. My Targets skipped that set except Undertaker they got 5 cases of him.

Since we got 2/3 of the Freebirds is ther going to be a slight push to finish off the 3 man team.
Can we get a WCW Michael P.S. Hayes
Is completing Imperium going to happen sooner than later

I remember saving all my flag points to get Slaughter. It was a cross-promotional item as the hasbro ad used the LJN guys with Sgt. Slaughter standing over them. Slaughter was harder than the LJN guys.

They should hopefully eventually find there way back to Ringside as they seem t have gotten a bunch of basic sets 128,129,130,131,132,133,134,135,136 back in stock 9 sets that were a bit problematic here and there. Out of everything right now all I need to get is a Gigi Dolin to be caught up
