AEW just trademarked Captain Insano, which was Paul Wight’s character in The Waterboy. I wonder if they did that with the intentions of the toy line as that would be the only way to really do a retro Wight figure with WWE owning his only other characters. WWE can’t claim ownership of a generic black singlet lol, they can do anything they want as long as the box says Paul Wight instead of Big Show or The Giant

Not sure if there's a better place to put this post, but man, do I love these figures. I had preordered series 1 and the Bubbly Jericho back when they were released but haven't bought any more AEW figures up until spotting half of S2 in Target this week. Couldn't help myself and bought Orange Cassidy and Darby off the bay right after. They just came in the mail today and I can honestly say that, in my opinion, these are the best wrestling figures being produced in 2021. The retail availability and skintones of S1 had turned me off and I considered selling the first set more than a few times but boy am I so glad I didn't.

It’s the series 2 restock man, it’s been holding back my huge order too Only item that would be holding something up would be Brandi (late June) with Blood Brothers. Everything else I ordered separately and had (estimated) late May ship dates. No one jump to think I'm being impatient, but that's a heckuva backlog for me.

This is getting frustrating. Trying to keep up with the WWE figures means I'm failing on my AEW collection. I just can't keep up with both lines at once on my crappy income.
Add in my continuing quest for Custom Fodder and older Women's Figures and, yeah. There's stuff getting missed.
I need a billion dollars. Does anyone know Jeff Bezos phone number? I hear he's got about a couple hundred of those lying around, he can spare one stack for me.

It’s actually pretty easy when there’s no figures to buy on shelves lol Personally, I’ve decided to just cut way back on WWE purchases even further than I already have. My rule is if it’s from before 2007 or a RSC exclusive it gets preferential treatment, after that depends on the character or gear/accessories. And tbh the RSC part is only because those get crazy expensive when they sell out and I missed a few good ones from 2014-2017 and don’t want to again

My crazy brain has decided "You need one of every woman" and I can't seem to shake that crap. Add in "Every McMahon EVER" and wanting to collect the best new stuff from both companies and I just can't keep up. Having no figures on shelves doesn't really matter to be because I very rarely get to buy from a store. Getting in and out of Wally World is a huge pain (Literally) and the only time I can justify it is when I need groceries like today. Otherwise, it's too difficult physically to get there and hunt. And, considering that's the only place in town that I even have as an option to hunt at... yeah, all my shopping is online. But, naturally, that means that I spend more money! And there is so little of that to go around...
It's funny. I just got into a bickering fit with a friend who lives in the DC area. I mentioned an incident regarding buying my mom some books off Amazon and she got all snippy saying something like "Why can't you just go to a used bookstore like a sane person..."
I had to remind her (with considerable frustration) that not all of us live in the vicinity of civilization and there literally isn't a single used bookstore in my entire county. When she said "The go to a regular bookstore" I pointed out there wasn't one of those either. She keeps asking me why I would ever want to live in a city like mine and I have to remind her that the closest "City" to where I live is a 45 minute drive through the mountains...
You live where I do? Almost everything except groceries is online. It's the only way you get stuff.

I totally get it. I do a lot of work in rural communities in PA and OH and see firsthand how big of a barrier access is for families in those areas for everything from health care and groceries to entertainment and hobbies. I'm lucky to live in an area where I have half a dozen each of Walmart and Target within a decent drive, and twice that many if I'm willing to go half an hour+. But unless you've lived or spent time there, it's really tough for people to understand communities where the closest Walmart may be 30-40 minutes away, highway miles. And that's assuming people have transportation or reliable transportation to get them there. Rural poverty sucks.

Wew. Went into a Wal-Mart today and walked right into a Santana and Ortiz. They're the only ones I retroactively decided I needed from series 4, so I'm glad to have 'em.

Guys I'm calling it.
I can't do it anymore.
I can't keep collecting both WWE and AEW.
Between my constant fills for old figures and keeping up with new ones it's just too much.
I'll be getting the women only from this line here on out. That's it.
It was nice while it lasted but I'm just too dang broke to keep ordering figures at almost 30 bucks a pop that I won't see for another three months.

My Walmart has FINALLY been getting steady shipments of AEW figures. We have gotten 4 cases in the past 2 weeks, 3 of Wave 4, one of Wave 3. I was constantly putting them on order only to be told they were out of stock in our warehouse. I THINK Jazwares is catching up to demand finally.

I went to walmart because I saw they had just gotten a case of AEW in on Brickseek.
I was only planning on getting one if, by some miracle, they had Shida. I'm apparently Bibi the clown woman because I came home with S4 Kenny and another basic Triple H for customs.
I didn't even want S4 Kenny. I had no interest in him. But dangit if that isn't a lovely figure in-hand. Couldn't pass it up, not for 20 dollars.

Right now I have DM Sting, Ultimate Hollywood, 2-pack The Giant, (3) Halls on order and plan to get Kevin Nash, and the Legends DDP on its way. I’m sticking to strictly WCW 96-00. Also I have the camo Undisputed Era and may sell them or wait for Cole. Really focused on my AEW collection!!!
