Again? You've said this more times than I can count lol. This time I mean it! LMAO, for some reason I feel you dont really mean it! I am actually thrilled! My series 1 back order doesnt arrive until Early November, so maybe both will come in at the same time since its on the same order! Welcome to the waiting room people who only ordered Series 2. MUAHAHAHHAHA!

Honestly the way this line has been handled thus far has sort of killed it for me. I will preorder the Pac when they put it up, but I have almost lost all interest in this line already. I don’t even look for this line when I go to WalMart. I check the DC figures from McFarlane and Spin Master. Then I look for ML, Elites, MotWWE and SW Black series. If I ever happen to see them on the pegs I’ll probably take a look at who’s on the pegs, but if I don’t ever see them I won’t miss them.

I think Jeremy had a plan and he hit his goal of getting good stats for Walmart. It all comes down to if you have faith in Jeremy and his long term plan. While my interest is lost also because it’s just a waiting game, I am still eager to see what happens with the chase and rare series 2 release. Will it be in Walmart? Will Series 1 chases and rares be released to Walmart eventually? Series 3, ever? Many exciting things on the AEW Unrivaled Series journey to go. This is just the boring filler DBZ episode type part of the series that were in.

As long as RSC gets the figures I will continue to pre-order the ones I want and enjoy having them when they ship to me. With retail being iffy at best thus far it’s worth it so much more at the moment to pre-order with RSC.

Nope I’ve lost all faith in him, because all I see with him now is not the person who gave us the CS line, but someone that would rather plan about how these will be on the secondary market instead of making sure they make it to retail. Give it a strong retail presence and then worry about your chase figures.

I feel like Corona messed up his plan because they couldnt produce the amount they wanted after that initial Walmart release. Even PS5s are scarce and thats SONY. So I'm sure that has to do with the dead air since then.

Yeah that's probably not it at all given that a lot of toy companies are keeping their output through the mess we're currently in. This all reeks of Jeremy wanting to make the line artificially rare.

Who would honestly want to sell less than what they can possible make? Is that even an actual business strategy?

Is that even an actual business strategy? that is a regularly employed business strategy. sumo.com/stories/scarcity-marketing#6Well you learn something new every day. I think its quite effective actually, at least on me lol. Interesting... Scarce items feel exclusive: [CHECK]Those who have scarce items have exclusive access, which is not openly available to others. This, in itself, makes a scarce item more desirable. This is why clubs have VIP areas, airlines have special membership lounges, etc. Scarce items appear more valuable: [CHECK]According to the law of supply and demand, items in low supply often cost more, and therefore scare items are expensive items that act as status symbols. Example: To get one of the few Birkin bags produced by luxury brand Hermes, you’ll probably be waitlisted for years...just to pay the $10K+ price tag. Scarce items make people feel powerful: [CHECK]Snagging a scarce item means you have access to something other people want but can’t have--which gives the owner power

I’m over it tbh. It’s a damn shame too because I was so into this line when it started. Like PJ said I barely even look for it anymore. I check for WWE & Marvel Legends and i window shop Black Series (sometimes to help people out/trade sometimes just because it interests me but I don’t want to start collecting it)

Maybe we should take the "when" out of the thread title at this point.

I said before that I didn't think this line would make it to 5 series, but is it even going to make it to 2?

I'm currently still in the hunt on this but I don't think they will ship when I guessed (2 or 3 week in nov.) who knows now

Who would honestly want to sell less than what they can possible make? Is that even an actual business strategy? that is a regularly employed business strategy. sumo.com/stories/scarcity-marketing#6The problem with that logic is these are toys that were already exclusive to WalMart.(and RSC) So to underproduce them purposely is going to hurt the line in the long run when Walmart cancels the line in favor of a product that they can stock. Again it’s a toy get it on the shelves. You want secondary market strength then continue the 1/1000 and 1/500 figures. There’s your secondary market presence people are talking about. Hell even give everyone in the set a chase piece, but make sure there’s product on the retailers shelves. Most people are just going to drop it in favor of something else if they can’t find it at their local stores. When it was announced I was excited about this line and I preordered my must haves from series 1 & 2, but as the ball has been dropped with their production numbers & distribution so has my interest in the line. And the buzz that it’s supposedly going to generate is mostly negative at this point.

I’m pretty irritated. I preordered series two long ago, the ship date has passed, and there’s no time table for them to actually be shipped. I assume there are issues and this isn’t just Jeremy being Jeremy. Seriously, they had a chance to improve on probably the biggest Mattel gripe - distribution. What do they do? They actually make distribution WORSE than Mattel’s piss poor distribution. I get that it’s a limited run series, and only available at Walmart, but they should’ve made it a point to make sure everyone who wants these can get their hands on them. I quit Mattel for a year because of the Harley Race debacle. I’m weak, but I was that pissed. We aren’t even into series two yet and the majority of people have yet to see one figure on pegs, and series two preorders already should’ve been in hand. My patience is quickly wearing thin. I’m not off the boat yet, and I’ll still preorder series 3, but if they haven’t figured out their $#!t by series 3 I’m absolutely done giving them any more of my money. These figures are amazing, but I feel like the line is run by Rob Liefeld (only early 90s comic nerds will get the reference).

And let me also say about the Pandemic argument Besides Jazwares other lines they also seem to have no problem getting the AEW child role play championships and basic rings out. My area Walmart restocked those a few times now. And have an abundance of the rings now. Just no figures to purchase to use with them.

I agree, there have been no issues with any other Toy line being put out. I have my theory a fair amount of employees scouted cases which prevented them actually Reaching the sales floor.
What really bugs me about all this is the kids missing out. Like, imagine being a kid & wanting Jurassic express Or orange Cassidy And finding out it’ll be another year or so till that happens. On top of, not being able to find them in retail. They’ll just Lose interest all together.

Ringside fest is today (virtual of course). Only Mattel is slatted or at least advertised to announce some things but I would think RSC may go ahead and post some AEW figs and such for pre order as well. Even if they dont have an official announcement of their own. RSC usually does the pre order drops in bunches. Even if its just a mattel event for example they will drop figuarts, super 7, and other randoms in at the same time.

This line won't make it out of next year. AEW and wrestling in general is a niche product, and Jazwares is killing off the few fans that want their products. This line is dead.
