Can someone clarify for me if Ringside will now be selling the store specific exclusives ie Alexander Wolfe, Liv Morgan , Sonya deville or is it just Alexander Wolfe atm right now? Because if so this would give collectors a better opportunity to get the chase elite figures w/o the retail hassle

Nobody knows what the story is about ringside stocking store exclusives yet.

Just have to wait and see. RSC employees who are on here are apparently in the dark. Concerned it may have been some mistake on Mattel's end, as we've seen in the past.
I will say, haven't heard one complaint about the fig being more accessible. Just lamentations from people who've already paid out da booty for one.

My guess is no and that this was not supposed to happen with Wolfe, but we'll just have to wait and see for sure.

Maybe RSC scalped all the Wolfe's to sell on the website

My best guess is that Mattel made more Wolfe figures than Target ordered so RSC got them.

Either Mattel shipped the wrong cases to RSC or they raided targets and snatched all the Alexander Wolfe Wolfe figures

It's all speculation at this point, but my guess is that Target under-ordered on their allocation and the cases were made available to RSC. I'd assume Mattel's contract with the retailers gives them right of first refusal, but if they under order Mattel probably is able to sell to secondary options.
If that's the case, they may end up exclusive cases for some figures but not others. Target waves would seem more likely than Walmart waves simply because they have significantly fewer stores.

At least they had talent. I’m not getting too excited about it. While I’d love it if the exclusives were online, I have a feeling it was a random one time thing. It’d be swell to see NXT Elite on Ringside since all those cases shipped out and I have three area Targets that didn’t get a single case!

Didn't Bill at one point say that any store that wanted to buy a store exclusive case could when asked about overseas collectors? Perhaps that could include outlets like RSC or WWE Shop since the latter also gets exclusive Funko Pops for other stores just with a different sticker. It doesn't say on any of the boxes that they're exclusive to Walmart or Target.
I kind of hope this is a trend going forward. I get wanting to increase foot traffic to brick and mortar stores, but most of the time these stores don't put out new stock except in spurts and if you miss out on the shipment, you're SOL. With more store exclusives on the way like E69 having two Target figs (Sonya and Liv) and one Walmart (The Rock), it'd mae sense to continue putting these figs up online, even if it's for a limited time.

When WWEShop got Backlund I was thinking the same thing you mentioned about the funkos, but then we found out them getting Backlund was done in error. WWEShop put up E64 at the same time as E63 but there was no Dunne. So, that explained why they never put Dunne up.
