Are they really going to hit you for shipping on each? Say that, at a minimum, that's $5.99 a Brawler. ($17.99 + $5.99) * 7 = $167.86 FUGG. THAT. I'm not assuming that's the case, even though it seems written that way. PWT tends to not exactly be the the most clear with their advertising. These are going to be up for an extended pre-order window. I can't see any reason why combined shipping wouldn't be available. The issue with the Savages was that they kept putting them up one at a time, so you had no way to order other than each one individually. On Facebook, Ryan said there won't be a bundle with a reduced price for the full set of Micro Brawlers (like they used to do) but you will be able to combine shipping (unlike the different Macho Men). The graphics should probably say "$17.99 each + shipping" instead of "$17.99 + shipping each"

They should offer a complete set for those that want it instead of having to order them all individually. Maybe with a small discount. Buying all those recent Macho Man Brawlers was a pain, one very two hours and the shipping costs from each one separate was beyond oscene. They used to do that. I bought three waves as complete sets although I don't think there was a discount offered.

Is this an 'effing joke? 2 dollars less than those amazing Jazzwares 6 inch figures? The really sad thing is that people will pay it. UNBELIEVABLE>

I'm really glad I'm not into these. I don't understand what's so special about them that they are $2 less than Elite/Unrivaled figures. That's crazy. Is that a normal price for them when they put them on sale individually? The only one I have is MJF from the AEW crate.
Not to say they don't look cool or anything like that. They are usually pretty cool looking, but damn.

They are usually pretty cool looking, but damn. The pricing has been all over the place. Originally they were 12.99, but in recent months prices have been all over the place from $25 down to the teens. And totally agree that it's ridiculous that they're almost the same price as high detail, articulated 6in figures. But at least from my experience, it's a slippery slope. Once you start, it's really easy to say "what's one more wave." They are really cool figures, and there's a fun range from legends to NJPW to indie wrestlers who will never get a 6in figure. But yeah, part of me wishes I never got into Brawlers to begin with.

If these went on sale yesterday, I would have bought Brodie, Jericho, and OC. This morning, I kind of have this “wtf am I doing” feeling. I don’t need these for guys from AEW who are getting amazing 6” figures.
It’s one thing to get guys like Owen and Raven for me, who just haven’t gotten the merch in 15-20 years, but this is something entirely different. My first Brawler was Joey Ryan, for $6 shipped, because he didn’t have a figure. Now I’m confused how we got to this place where $20 plus shipping feels normal for this sh*t. It doesn’t make any sense.

I'm still hung up on the shipping. When I bought my lime Savage, I was originally going to go in on two of them. Shipping was $5.99, but when I upped my cart to 2, shipping jumped to $11.98. I'm not buying these, but I hope for the sake of anyone that is that the same thing doesn't happen .

Does anyone have a complete list of every Micro Brawler ever created?

It doesn’t make any sense. This is why I initially started collecting Micro Brawlers 2-3 years ago. To fill in the gaps for NJPW and the Elite figures. Literally almost every brawler I have, has already or will most likely be receiving a 6" articulated figure in the near future. I still like the style and enjoy seeing the new releases, but I'm just not going pay Elite/Unrivaled prices for these.

It doesn’t make any sense. That's my feeling, but I think you have more willpower than I do. I only started collecting them early last summer, and I must have gotten started right before things got messy. I was able to buy just about everybody I was interested in for $10 or so shipped. I think I paid $15 for CM Punk. I got almost everything PWT had in stock, but with discount codes they came in around $10 each. Next thing you know I'm dropping $30 on Angle or $25 a piece for the Impact Brawlers. I probably need to draw the line somewhere. I don't have buyer's remorse. But I definitely have buyer's indifference.

I really want Session Moth. But that figure is pretty generic - I totally thought it was Toni Storm until I scrolled down.

I wonder if we'll see a retro Jericho down the line.

Let's be honest -- if you are buying them at $18 -- you're not really paying for the figures. You're paying for the hype and to be part of the club -- and maybe because you think they'll grow in value.
If you're OK paying for the hype and to be part of the club. If you are buying because you think they will retain or gain value -- you are going to lose all your money. It's a bubble and kind of a Ponzi scheme as so many people have said on here so articulately.

I'm being honest when I say I bought each one at $18 because I wanted each one and have no plan to sell them in the future. I guess I am "paying for the hype" in the sense that they've started charging more for these in the last couple years, but while resellers do exist and it's frustrating for collectors at times, I don't believe that resellers are the majority of who is buying Micro Brawlers.

Resellers are definitely not the majority. Otherwise u would 50% or more of the limited edition ones for sale. You see maybe 10% if that. I have been selling off most of my Brawlers but I really dig these AEW ones. Probably will cave on ordering a set myself.

Same here. Do I think they're a great value? Absolutely not. But I like them, can afford the inflated price, and have zero intention of ever selling them. I probably will try to limit myself to one of each character moving forward. With the variant Vader, Savages, Owen, etc I get the feeling that we're going to see more and more color variants or alternate versions. I don't mind going down that slippery slope with Mattel/Jazwares. But I need to draw the line somewhere.
