AEW popped up at Romeoville Walmart, checked it again when I was ready to leave and it was out of stock again. It’s weird i saw the same thing. But in the Walmart app it says that they’re in stock and ready for pickup. I went over there earlier and there wasn’t anything

I’m disgusted that we only got one RVD elite and that was the attire we got.

Still nothing on Brickseek for the northwest subs and AEW figs. They popping up for anyone in other areas? Absolutely nothing

As others have stated, I am doubtful that these will actually show up on shelves Monday. I hope so, and I’ll definitely look, but I doubt it since Walmart’s distribution is pretty bad and it’s been like that pre-pandemic.

Gargano looks good, disappointed that they couldn’t give him the correct boots but it’s whatever I’ll still pick it up. I would’ve preferred the WMXX Christian but this is fine, this seems to just be a rerelease of the BOPPV elite, and that one I have is falling apart the knee is warped, so this will do as a suitable replacement. Don’t really care for NWO X-pac. Orton is pretty nice, I’ll probably pick that one up.
Also it’s hilarious that the basic Bray looks 100x better than the RSC exclusive. They could make a new sweater sculpt for a basic but not for a freaking elite?!??

I think I have every elite AJ Styles. I have so many Rollins and Every demon Bálor. None are surprising as I like their figures

Pretty good start.
Likes: Riddle looks fantastic, glad they were able to include the jacket. The new day, especially Xavier woods, all look great. The extra head and the Up Up down down title are home runs. Billy Graham looks exceptional. Cool to see Naomi getting an elite with great accessories.
The dislikes: I knew the Goldberg/Bret pack wasn’t gonna be great, and it seems I was right. I know everyone was clamoring to get the US title but it’s not worth the price of what this set is gonna be. The chest piece is cool, I guess? But the figures itself is what I mostly look forward to when I buy and there’s nothing special about them. They could do a much better job with the sets they choose for elite 2 packs and actually looking for significant matches and moments to illustrate. Goldberg vs Bret is nothing I look back fondly on. E78 Orton looks to have an old bearded head but they still have the beard sculpt on it, that looks pretty bad and they should try to fix it if they haven’t moved too much far along in production. I like the new R-truth, but they gave him that huge ripped up torso, wish that could be changed. The new Roman is pretty cool and I’m glad they have sculpted gauntlets but I wish they could’ve given him a much more colorful logo on the vest and gauntlets other than that gold/brown color. Blue, red, & lime green would looked much better.

I’ve picked up a few figures from the ultimate line and while I like the concept, actually having the figures in hand there’s nothing really ultimate about it. Besides the double jointed arms, the articulation is pretty bad and you can say the toes count but that’s worthless articulation. The diaphragm joint is worse and allows for even lose movement. I just can’t see myself constantly spending $30 on these unless they really go back to the drawing board and make and fix the ab articulation. From what I’ve seen the AEW figures allow for wayyyy more movement and better articulation and it’s $10 cheaper, no reason why mattel can’t make improvements.
As for this Rock figure, how is it ultimate? It comes with a T-shirt and a belt and we’ve gotten that plenty of times with other Rock elites. They could atleast given him some pants and those nice shirts he wore back in the day.

If I see it in stores I’ll pick them up. I’m not going to be one of the bitchers who’s mad that I didn’t get my action figures in the middle of a pandemic.

Other than the US title this is a terrible choice for an elite 2-pack that depicts a very forgettable moment. Give me HBK/Angle WM21 & Taker/Mankind HIAC 2-pack already. Idk, I think it’s a pretty memorable moment. Bret has said before that he was proud of that moment specifically because it went over so well with the crowd and no one had stopped the spear yet. We’ll see if it ends up being sought after like the current Triple H/Chyna set or if it’s gonna be like Rey/Joe where it just doesn’t fly off online sites. I’m thinking the latter

I should have got the yellow regular gear to go along with the chase. I think those are gonna be the only elites of him for a long time unless he’s featured more in TV
