Why are the RSCE figs not pushed back like the main line?

[Purple Reigns]

In saying this I’m sure they’ll be pushed back, but as of now, the main Unrivaled line is set to release in August while the Bubbly Jericho and Ring/Omega plus the belt and other things are set to be released (as of now) as scheduled. Is it different factories? I understand there’s a global pandemic and the set back but why are some things being released while others are being pushed back?

The main line was always meant to be scheduled for August. August 1st was the launch date always.

I think RSC is just playing it cautiously.

I literally asked Magic just last night if everything with series 1 and 2 were still on schedule, and he confirmed that they were.

I wonder if it’s RSC being cautious, if they’ll push them forward when we arrive to July if things are settled. Glad to know they’re coming out regardless.

RSC usually gets expedited shipments on their initial shipment, which allows them to have them before retail.  I assume that means via air cargo vs boat.  As I understand it, often those cargo shipments are included on passenger flights.

With nobody flying, maybe RSC got word that their route was cancelled, and which means they'll get their shipment the same time as everyone else.  That wouldn't impact Jericho, since there's no reason to pay to expedited shipping on an exclusive.  

Just a guess, but it would make sense.

It's speculative at this point until someone from the company says something definitive. August is still a LONG way out, it's too soon to tell.

Capacity was really tight the last time I talked to my boss. I work in logistics for a road construction company that gets all their stuff from Germany.


Obviously not saying they will have the same issues our company has had but at least they’ve had some time to figure out a solution.


I believe they said mid August was just to be safe so nobody goes into a frenzy. Everyone is used to preorders coming in early or on time there’s been a few I can remember that were a few weeks behind in the past.

The dates for the ring and Jericho exclusive probably haven’t changed due to when the products are expected to be available they probably are on track currently but could still face delays
