I'm honestly curious how everyone else has been getting their Unrivaled and Unmatched figures. When that first wave came out I was going to Walmart as often as possible and got lucky with Brickseek one day. But after Series 1a I ended ordering every figure through RSC simply to avoid the headache because I just wasn't seeing these on store shelves in my area. That was until Unrivaled 7 last winter when my local Target had a huge endcap display. I figured that was the time to transition to in store purchases, but I have yet to see a series that evenly stocked all year. I honestly don't want to fall back to ordering from RSC with their prices jumping up from 23.99 in 2020 to sometimes $32.99 this year, but the amount of gas I've burned through hitting up the 12 or so Walmarts and Targets in the area (along with random Gamestops along the way) I might just end up going back to RSC and just wait a couple of waves so prices trickle back down to what they used to be.
As a side note: Brickseek just stopped working for these figures last I checked and Target and Walmart apps are worthless when it comes to these series.

Mostly Target,if its something I really want and scared its gonna be pretty popular at retail(Sting,Brodie,Punk and any Darby etc)I pre order from Ringside. I rather pay couple extra dollars now then miss out and pay 3 or 4 times later on eBay. Besides that I've bought plenty from Ringside after they come in stock,Wal-Mart(very few lately),Amazon and GameStop but haven't had to worry lately since Target has been so great at stocking them.

My “Must Have” figures I preorder from RSC. Everything else I get locally at Target & Walmart. And occasionally I go to Amazon (Hangman vs Omega 2-Pack)

Most everything from RSC. If I'm at Target and see something I want a double of, or something I decided not to get from RSC, I'll buy it. Of course got the Bucks off Amazon.

Besides the Amazon exclusives, I've gotten every one of my AEW figures from Ringside.

Ringside And I'm a UK collector - including delivery it doesn't work out much more than if I bought them here.
Nabbed the Cody TNT exclusive on eBay for cheaper than it cost due to a local seller not wanting a slightly damaged box.

Everything has been from RSC except the Amazon Exclusive SCU and an Unrivaled 7 Nick Jackson I found at Target a few weeks ago.

Everything I definitely want I get from RSC. I’ve purchased extras in stores for my loose collection, but I believe the only one I’ve bought in store for my main MOC collection was Tay Conti.

I’ve gotten Punk and a couple of sale figures off RSC but I usually don’t have any trouble finding them in stores.
If anyone needs the Dork Order, please visit literally any Walmart around Nashville. You’ll have your pick

Walmart and Gamestop only use Ringside for special cases like the Punk who I actually really want and don't want to worry about my walmart and gamestop skipping the set

Ringside, unless I want to buy one of the many unsold Lance Hoyt or Nyla Rose figures rotting on the pegs at retail.

I started with Ringside, but I switched to "wherever I can find them at MSRP" around Unrivaled 5. Those Ringside fees add up quickly.

The first few sets of each series I grabbed from Ringside, but there's a couple of smaller Targets around me that have had random cases of more current series I've snapped up. I'm thinking I'll alternate between the two as time goes on. They tend to somewhat hang around for short periods of time, and then all of a sudden disappear usually.
I think I've been on the fence with some of the face scans so seeing them in person sometimes helps seal the deal for me too with these.

I will usually order full sets of AEW from Ringside for my MOC collection out of FOMO. For anything that I also want loose, I usually wait until I find them in store, usually Target or Gamestop.

I figured most would be through Ringside. I finally found Kingston yesterday at a random Target coming back froma doctor's appointment. I was ready to just order him off of RSC because he was down to about $25 but I've had a target credit that I've been looking to spend.
Right now I think I might just wait to catch up with a Black Friday sale unless I run into situations like that until then. I'm burnt out on driving around for hours only to come home empty handed.

So far I have bought all my AEW figures from RSC. But going forward I'm going to buy non-RSC exclusives at retail. This is because when Jazwares sent RSC Unrivaled 9 without the cards, RSC didn't do anything to make it right by the people who preorder the set. I assume RSC is a big enough buyer from Jazwares that they could have demanded cards from Jazwares to send to those who ordered sight unseen/protype unseen/knowing they wouldn't get cards that everyone else would.
I preordered series 1 sight unseen, I wanted to support the line, but over time Jazwares has released too many questionable figures that now I'm going to wait until my Targets get them.
Hopefully Long Island, NY gets Unrivaled 9 on the shelves soon and I'll see how difficult it is to get them. From what I've seen AEW figures stay on the shelves for a while and I should be able to get the figures I want. But if I have difficultly, I'll go back to buying from RSC.

If I had to rely on a retailer not named Ringside Collectibles, I'd have maybe 1/8th of the AEW figures I have right now.

I've been gathering a pretty impressive collection of Riho, Nyla Rose, and dark order figures exclusively from Walmart.
