Yea it’s very disheartening. Right now in general in store and online for figures is horrible. Outside of paying the extra for Ringside or amazon, collecting has become very very difficult for some reason. They ask us to preorder to support the figures, we do it and then we don’t get our figures and it just brings the enjoyment of the hobby down, which for some means just dropping the hobby entirely. I think most would agree that the AEW at Walmart launch in general was just a complete botch at this point. If you can’t produce enough figures to actually be in the stores than what is the point?

I'm becoming more and more weary of pre-ordering from places other than straight from the manufacturer or RSC.

Yeah, almost like there's a global pandemic that delays a lot of shipping or something especially in one country a large scale virus started that also houses many of the parts and labor to figures and another country where there is a presidential administration in place trying to slow down mail in general. |

Yea that pesky pandemic sure is to blame for the shelves being empty for years at retail stores right? The pandemic is to blame for taking pre orders and then delaying them several times and outright canceling them yet fulfilling orders that were placed after and sending them to stores. There are some things the pandemic can be blamed for, these things with figures have been going on before the pandemic. |

The pandemic has cause many delays, however, why wouldn't walmart/target say that's why there is a delay? RSC, when contacted has been transparent and said as much. At the end of the day let's be grateful we get to be petty about fig release dates. |

Boss Fight and they said the first collector wave is still on track by the end of the year and they put the Fanaticos figures up for preorder as well with those still being on track for early next year. |

I'm not up to speed on the GI Joe line, because I basically gave up on that one when I couldn't find the figures anywhere. But I in the case of the wrestling figures, I think it's tough to blame the pandemic. The companies, as far as we've seen, received the quantities of figures they ordered. The stores have just prioritized shipping those figures into stores, while also ignoring or back ordering the online pre-orders. It's just sloppy business on the retailer's end. But they're massive retail giants, and and we're not even a blip on their radar. |
