Jazawares has made some bad decisions with this line but this chase only concept for ftitl figures is absolutely ridiculous, some figures I can kinda understand like Brandon cutler but figures like the bunny and Alex reynolds is stupidity, and then there’s unrivaled 16 where it was between Julia hart and Takeshita which was a complete lose lose situation, Jazawares really needs to do away with this concept

It seems like it's done at least? I didn't flip through everything yet, but I thought the stuff revealed today didn't feature any. Agreed on the general idea though, a stupid concept that wasn't necessary if they would have utilized the Walmart/Target exclusive spots and got the vault going quicker.
I was lucky enough to find Bunny, and I'm not too keen on going out of my way for Cutler. Very annoyed that Take is the chase for the latest set and annoyed in general about the Reynolds figure. I'm not shelling out for it when it should have been in Unmatched 3 to begin with.

There were really no good choices with the wave lineup as it was. I honestly think they should've moved the Gunns to RSC, their tag teams outside of the Lucha Bros seem to sell poorly anyway. Throw in a hasty Swerve repaint, move Konosuke to the main wave, and the chase can be whatever lower card wrestler's easy to make. Just stick a new head on a suit body and have it be Don Callis, even.

Testing something: Takecrapa OK board mods, Takeshida's name is autocorrected to Take-a-crap-a and that's cool? Cmon guys, can you not add exception terms? This is super disrespectful

Maybe now that he's got a figure in the way and is getting more discussion about him, they'll fix that? I just go with Konosuke here, because calling a dude by his first name seems more respectful than this whole deal.

I hate how Jazwares handles chase figures. As a consumer, I just want to be able to buy the items I want. Mattel makes chases, but they're better distributed and you're able to buy them online at a premium price. I don't understand why they create a system that rewards people who can get to physical stores as soon as they open so they can buy all the chases and then resell them online. Jazwares does not financially benefit from this unless they're holding some and selling through an online auction site. Who is this system for? Why upset your customers when you have a niche product? Why can't I buy the items I want?
On a side note, I'm looking for an Alex Reynonlds. I see Unmatched 9 is hitting Long Island, NY where I'm from. I just can't run around hunting. DM me if anyone wants to sell/trade.

So Jeremy put out that statement about if you overproduce a figure people get mad and you lose money but under produce people get mad but you make money (extremely paraphrasing here). And this was obviously in regards to how they've handled the Alex Reynolds release.
Simple question: why not have these characters as build a figures? I think many of us wouldn't mind losing out on an extra set of hands, rubber coats and the tons of extra microphones if it meant we could get someone like Brandon Cutler as a build a figure. That way if you want him, you have to buy the whole wave and if you don't just buy who you want. You can still do Rare and Chase figures if you wanted to.
And if that still isn't feasible, put them up on vault limited to 5000 as a vault exclusive rather than releasing them the way they currently do. I can't imagine how many of these are just rotting because everyone expects to be able to flip it for triple or quadruple the value on ebay.

I just finished watching the jazwares panel on YouTube. They mentioned Takeshita as the /5000 chase and then said stay tuned in the coming weeks on ringside for a”premium offer”. Sounds like they might let ringside sell the chases again directly. At least the sets that contain new figures.

From the SDCC panel regarding Chase figures: "If you follow Ringside Collectibles, they might have a special announcement for you in the next few weeks so stay tuned for a premium offering"

I can't imagine how many of these are just rotting because everyone expects to be able to flip it for triple or quadruple the value on ebay. They could have just short packed them and not ended up with a million Nyla figures at Target like we had happen. People who really want to complete the roster would just snag them RSC or ShopAEW, I really don't think that would have been too hard to figure out. They went a little too try-hard on the whole "value" proposition for a line they forgot to stock in stores for about a year or so there. I'd imagine we get a fast tracked Alpha version of Take soon enough anyway. They have everything tooled, no excuse to not throw it in a Target/WM spot next year.

Am I looking at the SDCC stuff right that they're locking Willow behind the chase?
