Popped onto RSC checking out why I would've gotten an email from them about preorders. Just noticed Brandi is the only figure on backorder from Series 1. How did that happen lol

Do you guys think there is any chance other sites will get these up for preorder as well? Like Amazon.

Its the first Brandi figure. Most of the others have figures from other companies already.

How did that happen lol I noticed that as well. All I could think of is maybe Brandi is shortpacked and so many people are ordering the full-set bundle leading to a relative shortage of Brandis.

But if we’re going off the standard 8 per case then 4 of them would be short packed.

So now my AEW unrivaled series one order says early September. No longer August. And I chose Fedex Smartpost which I’m told is slow and I didn’t realize it. Ugh...

It still says Mid August on RSC for every figure except Brandi. But yeah, Smpartpost sucks. Always spend more on shipping because you never know what's going to happen before FedEx hands it off to USPS.

I chose smartpost on accident.

Should I avoid fedex all together and just do USPS priority? Or is fedex 2 day air ok?

Just noticed the AEW Scale Ring w/ Kenny Omega was pushed back to Mid-August from Early August.

So someone here said that the figs would have the shoulder pin in the first 2 waves, and from all the recent pics we’ve seen looks like that will be the case...what do you all think?

The shoulder pins genuinely make the figures look worse. It’s 2020 not 1998; Mattel has never had shoulder pins since day one, and none of the other companies making figures have them either

Kenny and the real scale ring are now showing late August not showing as a back order just pushed back.

It’s 2020 not 1998; Mattel has never had shoulder pins since day one, and none of the other companies making figures have them either Mattel figures also barely move so they might as well have no articulation tbh. I was holding my Ruby Riot basic the other day and realized her knees don't bend at all because of how stiff the figure is. AEW figures could have the same issue but I would rather have things like shoulder pins if it means the figure has better flexibility.

Can't WAIT to get my hands on an Unrivaled figure. As long as they don't make figures as horrific at the new Mattel Basics, I'll be content. lol
