“Here’s the update: there is no update”
Baffling. Just fkn baffling. And a horrible way to do business too, not even telling your retailer what’s going on. Jesus Christ.

Likely due to Pentagon jr's name being changed fo Penta El Zero M and all writing on packaging need edited or stickered. I think they would have postponed releasing moc pictures if that were the case. also, didn’t a previous post of an email confirm rsc received some but not all of their series 2 stock and are waiting for the rest before sending out any orders? |

Maybe they aren’t getting the new stock because they have to change the name on later runs?

Not a good sign for these to be in stores for the holiday buying season. But obviously appreciate RSC trying to keep buyers up to date.

I have such mixed feelings about the line. I still think they have the best quality figures out there currently and AEW is my favorite wrestling product so I’m eager to get their roster in figure form. On the other hand the general lack of news and updates and really just everything to do with Jeremy has been so offputting and has made me apathetic about the line.
I’m sure I’ll keep getting AEW figures but it sure feels like they try to do everything they can to make me not care.

Thanks for the update. As others have said...not RSC's fault, at all. Sucks, obviously, but let's be honest; we all have great lives if something like this is a bummer. We can wait a little longer, and be glad that we don't have REAL problems. Can one person point me to a post that blames RSC? Our money is ours whether or not we have “real problems” which I’m guessing is sick or dying family members? I’ve seen people complain on facebook and instagram comment sections on Ringside’s posts |

Where’s Jeremy (our Hunter)? To busy getting a hard on for Pokémon cards and doing Instagram videos about those cards. That’s tied up all his time and he’s seemingly abandoned this line (or it seems like compared to how hard he was pushing this at the beginning). Deluxe Impact 2.0 .... is that you? 🤔 |

Like others have said, I'll wait for my Dustin to come through - and then I'm tapping out from this line. For all the complaining we do about Mattel (and I do my fair share, believe me) Jazwares is a heck of a lot worse when it comes to distribution.
I would cancel my pre-order, but I don't think that's fair on RSC.

They launch this line has certainly been a mess to say the least, so poorly planned, and devoid of any actual info at all.

I don't think many,if any of us,blamed RSC
However I cannot look at this as anything other than a massive failure for WCT/Jazzwares.
I get the launch with Walmart thing, gets you an immediate retail presence. However when you don't have enough product to even ESTABLISH that presence on the pegs and shelves,it's pointless.
They're not hurting Walmart,they're hurting themselves. I understand wanting to not go cuckoo with producing Wave 1 because you're not sure if the line will sink or swim,but there should've been enough produced to have at least 3 - 4 cases per Walmart store and 1 shipper to each store. I personally know of stores that got only one case in, I know of stores that got NO cases in, and NOT A SINGLE ONE of the Walmart's within driving distance of me ( 4 of them) got the shipper in. They simply never received it.
We are about to enter the prime shopping season of the year, and you will likely have NO product on pegs for people to buy. Explain to me how that breeds success? And you can't even go the "more online orders than ever" routr because you can't get them through walmart or RSC online shopping either!
What a damn disaster!

First off real cool making fun of people who are mentally challenged. Second off, they haven’t even told Ringside what the problem is which is a really crapty way to treat the people who are honestly your #1 supporter of this line. And third you’ve added absolutely nothing to this discussion |

Well said, I’m not in a super rush to get them (although it would be nice if they informed their customers of delays or gave any info really) it just doesn’t seem to make sense from a business standpoint. They are leaving so much money on the table it’s pretty wild. The market is obviously there, I guess the artificial scarcity thing is real. Empty pegs for way too long I guess Walmart is cool with that? Oof what a rough start for the line. |

Very sad to say I’m getting the “shuffling deck chairs around on the Titanic” feel from this line now which is truly very disappointing because it seemed primed to not only hold up well at retail but even give Mattel a run for their money.
I hope we can at least get some clarification as to why what’s happening is but I’m starting to doubt it.
I preordered all of S2 within about three mins of the set going live. Was very disappointed to see most of the extra accessories (heads/hands) featured on the preorder pages weren’t included with the actual final product figures.
At very least I think it’s fair to expect Jazwares to offer an explanation as to why they were all initially shown to be included and then cut without warning.

We live in the same area, and the Hazleton Walmart got one case of figures in ONCE. They were gone instantly |

I mean, it sucks, but it is what it is. I'm still gonna preorder OC when the opportunity arises. I'll get the figures when I get them, and whenever they hit, at least I know I won't have to go out chasing them. OC is the last one I planned on getting anyway, so S3 was sort of my projected "tap out" point as is.

The AEW figures are so hard to find that even Ringside can't find them

I'd never blame RSC. All they do is sell figures. I laugh when people on IG ask them questions that are meant for Mattel. Look, Covid ... I get it. Brand new line ... I get it. Newish company that has no where NEAR the power Mattel does ... I get it. Perhaps this can all be blamed on Jeremy. Kind sir, if you're going to promote this line, give away rare figures, hype this, hype that ... at least back your talk up. Stop jerking it to Hulk Hogan trading cards and Honus Wagner cards you can't afford. Run your line. But hey, you're still better than Super 7.
