Do you know what the SKU is for it? No I showed a guy working the service desk the brickseek page for the assortment. He entered either the sku or upc and knew they had 24 pieces in stock. Probably 9/11 as that was what the two stores I was at said their next shipment would be after today/tonight’s shipments. I think that's what he said. The first guy I asked was either on drugs or very tired, lol. I honestly don't think he had the energy to lift a small box if asked. The second guy I asked at customer service was slightly more helpful, but he did the thing where they walk you back to the aisle location, even though you know exactly where they should be. I thought he was going to look in the stockroom.

So the Mohegan Lake NY store showed 6+ in stock after they closed last night and this morning at 6am so I went over and was there at the store before the doors opened. Got to the toy dept and there was the display. But someone torn the display box apart and all that was there were the UFC figures and 3 Kenny Omega figures. But it still showed 6+. I asked an employee who scanned my upc and it said they had 24 on hand with none in back. So where did those unaccounted for 23 figures go?! I am done searching. I have Hangman preordered with RSC already, but I just preordered a second as well as a MJF and the E81 Austin. And I will say this if series 2 is as hard to find as it is for series 1 then I will be done with the AEW line, because I will not feed a scalper and this is just to aggravating coming up empty handed day after day with people buying the whole display.

No way to really know, but that to me says some employee put them all aside to buy later in the day or another day completely. Because they’re not on the floor and the only person that could’ve gotten to them was an employee.

Do you know what the SKU is for it? No Finding that SKU could be a game changer.. it's very possible that the system views the shipper different from the general assortment.

Pre order your multiples on RSC and you won’t have to worry about retail 🙂

Finding that SKU could be a game changer.. it's very possible that the system views the shipper different from the general assortment. I had a fresh shipper pulled out right in front of me and another guy this morning. Brickseek was 6+, now it's 4-5. I can confirm the employee I talked to last night said they had 24 in stock. I bought one each and I think the other guy did too. Around 10:30 this morning a guy was already asking about AEW. I kinda interrupted to ask the Wal-Mart guy if he could also pull some for me. The Wal-Mart employee says he'll pull out the whole display. The other guy was cool and a legitimate fan not looking to buy every available figure. The backroom door is near toys, so when we see the employee come through the door, the other guy and I start selecting figures. The employee says, "uh, can I pull this out to the aisle." That was pretty funny, slightly embarrassing because we were like kids.

Pre order your multiples on RSC and you won’t have to worry about retail 🙂 That’s what I did today with series 2. But like I said if they don’t start getting easier to find with series 2 I will just drop the line. I don’t want to have to spend $5 extra on figures that I otherwise wouldn’t preorder. In reality the only wrestlers I like enough in AEW to preorder are Hangman, Cody, Jericho, Pac & Sammy so having to spend $5 a piece more on every wrestler I would normally wait to find at retail is not something I am willing to do. So if Jeremy is going to continue to focus on how these will be on the secondary market rather than focusing on having a strong retail presence then I am just dropping the line. Say what You want about Mattel, but the Hurricane is the only figure that has been released that I never saw personally at retail.

I think it’s just a hot item for collectors and re-sellers. Some stores have gone through 30 figures in no time.

That’s because of Jeremy he said in one of his interviews he underproduced series 1 on purpose to “generate a buzz” And it did as I saw a guy buy all 24 figures in a display yesterday. Well, I am not a fan of that tactic, because he was creating his secondary market value for these. He should have been focusing on having a strong retail presence. But his excuse was under produce Series 1 so the retailers see the demand and order more with Series 2. But if series 2 is still this hard to find then I will say that it was bull and Jeremy was and is only focused on the secondary market and then it’s not worth collecting this line. So we’ll see what happens with series 2.

My area has only had one shipper per store, but I’m in a metro area so that’s several stores. My closest store had the shipper for around 8 days before they put it out.

2 stores in my area got the shipper and have zero left. Ppl legit coming in and buying the whole shipper. Like seriously? I want an extra Jericho and Omega but will not pay scalper prices.

All toylines first waves are normally slightly over produced. Your A-Lister wave should have been available in better numbers, not including Brandi initially to create a buzz. Kenny Omega who is the 2 per case which should have been Jericho or Cody, a casual collectors knows them more than Kenny Omega. Marvel Legends wave 1 comes to mind super over produced TRU had Toads all over the place and look at his value now. Jeremy trying to create a hype initially might backfire and waves with non-big names might start sitting just think an example wave with butcher, blade, shawn spears, trent, chuck taylor, marko stunt, this is where you start to slightly underproduce and not over produce for strong sell thrus. I bought a Jericho on Ebay for 37.00 shipped don't have a wal-mart, and its pretty close to what I would have paid on Ringside. Only will possibly get a handful of these not really going to go super crazy.

Couple stores in my area got shippers and are all gone now. One store did not, they got 1 regular case but no brandi or jericho chase.
Then the next day they where sold out.
So these figures are really selling.

Things have calmed down near me. AEW figures have been sitting for a week at a couple of Walmart stores. There is a lot to collect out there. People have to pay for their Sentinels Monday... a lot of broke ppl in the morning.

At one Walmart it was the shipper. They've had it for a week now. It was in the shipper for a day or two and then placed on the peg. As of yesterday, they had enough for 2 sets and and a few duplicates of Kenny, Jericho, and Cody. UFC figures are not moving at all. Another Walmart, 1 case and it's been sitting on the peg for a week. Another Walmart a little farther away got a restock after a shipper sold out. A week ago, several Walmart stores did sell out though.

I posted in the other thread as well but it’s calmed down here. Granted we have multiple stores but the last one to put out a shipper was my closest store and it’s lasted 4 days or so. Only one they don’t have at the moment is Matt.
No stores have been restocked to my knowledge but I was able to get what I wanted, 2 sets of each, excluding Brandi of course.

I hope the UK doesn't get screwed the lack of production, if it does ill just try and get Kenny and the Bucks and spot. No point having Mattel 2.0 where it's effort getting the figures I want
