At least it seems like something messed up with 4 and 5. Americans couldn't find 4 in stores and Cena is hard to find apparently. I'm starting to think Mattel is fudging the numbers of these "mass" produced figures. Cena and Becky are pretty easy to find in my opinion but Michaels and Lesnar are another story. I'm happy I got Michaels early. I'm less happy it's the one I used to convert to an elite 2003 Michaels, assuming I'd find another one in stores. |

I can find him and Lesnar but it's going to cost me an extra 10 bucks. I'm going to have to bite the bullet sooner or later. |

Glad I got the Ultimate HBK off RSC, when it was slightly on sale for like 27 I think. Thought I was overspending at that but seems I made the right decision.  |

Canceled my fiend/hogan from EE. Not sold on hogan and fiend is absolutely terrible. It doesnt even have the shoulder joints, disproportionate af. Still has a giant chest, tiny head, tiny arms and little legs.

Still has a giant chest, tiny head, tiny arms and little legs. Someone told me all the Ultimates that have interchangeable arms won't have the shoulder butterfly joints, but all the other ones will. I agree on the Hogan. It looks like a custom. Your description of Wyatt sounds dead on to me though. In RL, the guy looks out of proportion in a way. He's always had no hips and little legs. |

I gambled that TRU would get Brock and Shawn... apparently I lost lol. I haven't seen them anywhere else even online. Anywhere I have they are crazy expensive. |

Finally found AEW figs at Walmart...Picked up Jericho and Omega (to swap head and hands with the authentic ring figure). They also had E75...Thought about getting the chase Hurricane, but decided against it.
I've been to three Toys R Us locations in the last week, and each one has had E76, but no Christians...and now I see scalpers in my area listing them on Facebook. It's so depressing...I guess I'll have to order them on Amazon.com.

I didn't pay attention to if they had a regular one since I wasn't looking for him. |

I ordered my Christian online a while ago and got the chase. I was actually hoping I'd get the white version. I'd be willing to trade the chase for white but it's out of the packaging.

There's no saver shipping option on Ringside for the AEW scale ring...So I guess getting screwed by FedEx is unavoidable with this one?

They are not producing these figures in the same quantity as before, I think that is quite clear based on how hard it has become to find these damn figures. The question is are they doing it intentionally to create artificial demand (make it seem like there are more people buying then there actually are) or is it because retailers have cut back on the amount they order?! I think it might be a bit of both but there is definitely been a change with retailers.

Bringing in one case at a time then waiting 2 weeks or more with empty shelves after that case sells in a day is not smart. Also imagine if figures were easily available for online orders how much more they would sell. Just look at how many elite 77 figures were available this summer. They ended up selling really well but they are just starting to show up now on the Walmart website. That's way too late in my opinion. |

It used to be people who worked in stores had to stay on the up and up with what's coming. You used to be able to ask employees questions and they'd have answers. Now that most things are automated, they don't need that base knowledge anymore. Stores can hire anyone. I don't blame the kid who scans a tag and the system tells them whether or not replacements should or will be ordered. I don't even know if stores can even order extra in or if everything is capped. I'm pretty ignorant to the process though and am only going off assumptions. |

I'm pretty ignorant to the process though and am only going off assumptions. I do know that stock is ordered automatically but they can adjust quantity and frequency. The fact that shelves stay empty for months or are buried in garbage products shows they don't care. Being in retail I know how important presentation and being in stock is at my work. These big companies don't care about the toy sections. If other parts of the store looked like that someone would be in big trouble. |

For me personally, the fact that we'll never get Gallows and Anderson with matching attire kinda kills the buzz of the AJ. |

Also looks different enough to my other A.J where I can bend my one per person/gimmick/character rule. |
