Lumberjillville, My Damn Toys, and Kyle Peterson are all talking about this on YouTube as well. The community is rumbling and the companies involved are silent - not a good look, demise of the line or not.

Do you guys just WANT there to be problems?

Some of us are concerned BEACAUSE we love the line. Even Mattel fans have seen new technology thanks to competition from Jazwares

Jeremy said there was supposed to be a wave every other 4-6 weeks rotating between UnRivaled and UnMatched. Unrivaled 11 came early September, Unmatched 5 came early october. By his statement Unrivaled 12 and Unmatched 6 should have been the November to early Jan sets. They went silent. He did 100% better with Jakks. The supply is there, but now the demand isn't really as high as it was in the beginning

I think people are reading too much into the sale thing. RSC's sales are massive inventory clearouts right now of both WWE and AEW. Now AEW's line definitely has some issues, biggest being that hey built around Cody witht mainlines, chases, exclusives, buddies, etc. then he left. Then they pivoted to Punk (who, like him or not, is definitely a massive merch mover ) and gave him a mainline, a chase, an store exclusive and a Ringside exclusive in quick succession, then built the last reveals around him (LJN, buddy, Luminary, Ultimate) only for Brawl Out to happen the next day. Honestly, I think that's the biggest reason reveals and preorders ground to a standstill as that situation is legally sorted. That said, I have no doubt that the line is continuing in some fashion.

A lot of AEW merchandising had pivoted to being built around built around him (not just the figure line, but the original video game cover, the Diamond Select stuff, etc.) and I seems like everything's ground to a bit of a halt until whatever the resolution there ends up being.

I've wondered about that, but they've got numerous lineups listed with no Punk, including Unrivaled 12 and Unmatched 6, the next ones we're supposed to be getting. Actually, none of the upcoming Unrivaled lineups had Punk in them. I get that if they're shuffling some spots around it could easily affect waves he's not in, but we're talking two Unmatched waves that need a single spot plugged.

Sometimes I really wish Hasbro had the license Normally I would agree, but considering the price gouging they're currently doing with their Marvel Legends I'm a little more hesitant

Honestly from the initial hype my interest in the lines have gone way down
Loved the ljn cody but there was the issue with Darby then punk was due out next..so in 18 months we’ve had 2 figures
Reception to punk and Owen figures has been underwhelming for such wanted figures
Both uk stand alone toy shops are stopping stocking aew and they’re not moving reduced to £10 or less
Jeremy has also stopped hyping the line like it was - honestly my opinion only but it feels like they’ve lost interest in the line.

Some people are fearing they done with making aew toys… I hope not but most toy lines don’t last long,only Star Wars,legends ,Barbie ect… wrestling figs over the years has only 1 constant and that’s wwe….to think Aew could come out of no where and pump them out just like Mattel wasn’t substanable like you said Who? Who are these people? Where is this being said? You, alone in your house, making up stuff? Don't just say things. Also: "substanable"? Not a word. Why you being a dick man?… . I don’t want it to end either I love Aew figs… I was just talking about the 4 youtubers that made vids because Aew has never went even half this long without reveals …

It's so weird, because it feels like a lot of the interest in the line was having lots of debuts, and they still have those! There are tons of big names slated for upcoming waves, many of whom have never had figures or Elite-style figures before. At that point you just have to assume it's either the TV product being cold or the extreme delays or a combination of both.

At that point you just have to assume it's either the TV product being cold or the extreme delays or a combination of both. Probably a combination of factors I’d guess. I went through a stage watching the show regularly but there wasn’t the matches and storylines I personally enjoy to keep me hooked and I’m not going to forward 70% for the 30% I want to watch I don’t think the drama helps, gives a feeling of a amateurish product imo

The AEW flash sale wasn’t even a sale, everything was the exact same price it had been for the cyber week sale

I expect maybe 2 lineups to hit pre-order before Revolution and by then we should know more. I'm not worried.

Another interesting nugget is that the upcoming series have more figs planned than the previous sets with just 6 figs.

Do you guys just WANT there to be problems? 1) it takes quite aome time to produce figs, so "new figs coming in 2023" isnt mutually exclusive, both things can be true at the same time. 2) absolutely not, I love the Jazwares figs much more than the Mattels, but to deny that we've had silence from Jeremy and Jazwares is accurate. Some of us are concerned BEACAUSE we love the line. Even Mattel fans have seen new technology thanks to competition from Jazwares Okay... 1) A lot of these companies, Jazwares included, are on, if not heading into Christmas break. So, there's nothing to really discuss, nor would they. Companies rarely if ever announce the cancellations of lines. 2) China is currently, as we speak, having reduced factory output due to COVID, still. Factories are operating below 50%. As well as dock stoppages in and out. It's affecting EVERYONE. Look at McFarlane diminished output as proof. 3) Most companies these days are not putting out preorders until closer to a finalized release date to keep the window between order and release tighter. This line is no exception. Now do the math. Christmas break+COVID shutdowns+waiting until production is closer to completion= delays and no preorders. Why must you all concoct conspiracy theories and act like the sky is falling because of an annual year end sale that RSC always does--and other companies are currently included in? They just released a TON of items--Unmatched 5, Unrivaled 11, Supreme 2, The RSC Punk, Owen Hart, the announcers, a new exclusive ring, and they have a Thunder Rosa exclusive coming up. Everyone needs to chill out. I know y'all like calling me a dick, but apparently, NOT being a dick means I need to join in inciting needless panic and creating false narratives of failed toylines, and spreading outright BS. I'll take being a dick over that, thank you very much. NECA hasn't put out a Ninja Turtle preorder in a while. Do you think they are canceling their current biggest cash cow? Think, people.

All this would be cooled off immediately with a quick "we are having a jazwares event at Revolution 2023" from Jeremy, etc
