Listened to the Major WF Pod interview with Tony Khan earlier, not sure if anyone else has listened.. Either way, back at All Out when Jazwares (Jeremy Padawer) scanned the ENTIRE AEW roster, he also insisted on scanning Tony Khan. So yeah, expect a figure of him at some point. Not surprising Jeremy would want to make evvvvveeeryone, that's how he did with Jakks. Oh awesome we can get Riho she was there for that show!

It’s not really an issue of scanning her, it’s an issue of whether she’s under a contract that allows figures. I don’t know if she’s even gonna come back once corona is over and I wouldn’t blame her tbh

I don’t know if she’s even gonna come back once corona is over and I wouldn’t blame her tbh Riho and Shida both have merch on AEW's website, so I think they're available. But like you said, Riho hasn't been on AEW tv in 5 months, and there's no indication that she will be again any time soon. If Jazwares had her penciled in, there's a pretty good chance she got bumped from the lineup.

Jeremy will say she wasn’t there to scan like The Elite said she wasn’t there to wrestle even though she was in the back doing nothing for weeks 😂😭

I really regret my foolishness in thinking it would be most helpful for the line to get these from WalMart. Sitting waiting on the Cody, Kenny and Jericho from Walmart.com and by the time I realized the mess Walmart was with these, my Bucks and Brandi from Ringside probably aren’t around until late September. At this rate, I think I am likely to wind up with Series 2 before I get Series 1!
I was hoping getting from the big box would encourage them to carry but it seems like it will be fine. RSC from here on out to avoid headaches!

The shipper finally hit my main Walmart. An employee said someone came in an hour before me and bought every AEW figure and took the display with him.

I know this stuff shouldn't shock me at this point. But every time I read something like this I lose a little more faith in humanity. Here's to hoping the guy can't find a single buyer at his scalper prices.

Here's to hoping the guy can't find a single buyer at his scalper prices. It's discouraging, but to be fair I'm working on a 2nd set to keep MOC. I only need Cody/Kenny/Jericho. I'd be far more upset if I didn't have any. I'm not one of those people who will buy more than 2 sets though. That's so dang excessive.

Yeah, I've considered grabbing a second set to keep MOC as well. But something tells me the guy walking off with a full shipper isn't just a REALLY big AEW fan.

I got a set a state over and the guy who ran the department gave me the top of the shipper. He's a collector too (Hot Wheels, etc) and hooked me up.
One of the best experiences I've had fig hunting. I COULD have gotten my 2nd set right there, but it felt wrong.

So looks like no news this weekend? I'm pretty surprised we haven't seen anything else for S2 or 3 (and beyond) at this stage.

I am trying to figure out what my first AEW figure will be, despite having just about everting on order.
Had ordered Cody/Jericho/Kenny from Wal-Mart due in October before ordering the Bucks and Brandi on RSC backorder, which I think those are targeted late October. I have Bubbly Jericho on order with the Ultimate Charlotte. It probably will be Bubbly Jericho first but I think there is an outside chance that due to where my orders were placed, I wind up with my Series 2 preorder before I get any of the early figures.

When I worked retail, that stuff just went in a cardboard compactor. So if someone wanted something, we'd just give it.

Got my bubbly Jericho today, thanks to Wrestling Store in the UK!!
My first real hands on of the figures overall - articulation is decent which was a big thing for me. Shirt + accessories are awesome, as is the belt [which im very happy to have as well]. Picked up some elite classic tags as a place holder for the AEW tags and also have the toybiz NWA belt to play into my figure fed later down the line also. Pending releases/announcements I'll probably pick up a raw tag belt to be the stand in for my TNT title as well.
My own fault for not pre-ordering the rest of the set when I had the chance, as I'll be waiting for Smyths to get them in now - and that's if I'm lucky enough to pick up the others!
once pre-orders for series 2 go up on smyths, i'll have to get it done this time as they've already gone of RSC and Wrestling Store.
Very Hyped to get the other figures in when I can now.

Jeremy padawer said on his Twitter It’s almost time to start dropping AEW figure news again

Random thought. If/when they make a Brandon Cutler, he should come with a camera as a BTE homage.
