I'll be hunting for Series 1 at Walmart, but I'll be pre-ordering through Ringside from now on. There's ZERO chance I'm banking on Walmart distributing these well. yeah, Canada is super hit and miss so I couldn't take that chance on these.

maybe it's different elsewhere, but my retail stores always had the wcw figures and wwe figures side by side. Disclaimer: I have no ing idea why I remember these things. In terms of Walmart, I remember the OSFTM figures being near the kinda bootleg bullsh*t toy aisles until the redesigns of them in 1997-1998. Then they were in the same aisle, but never next to them. Toybiz WCW was always same aisle as WWF, but always with the Marvel toys until the end of the WCW line...then they finally decided to stick them together. K-Mart always said it and had everything together. Meijer had Toybiz WCW with Marvel, but same aisle as WWF. Hills/Ames had everything together. KB when I first went had the WCW figures on a spinning book rack thing, no BCAs and the Bend Ems were with the diecast cars. Later on, like 99-2000, they had everything together. TRU would have them in the same aisle but at different points of the aisle which I guess is smart. Make them shop the whole aisle, might pick up unrelated stuff.

Zellers still had OSFTM Raven and Curt Hennig figures for sale until 2004. they probably just threw them in a dumpster.

The guy pulled a fast one on me and told me the ring didn't ring up because Mean Gene wasn't on TV anymore and then he was like "April Fools, here's the total". I think that might have been when they were handing out WWF posters if you bought $10 or more in WWF stuff...even though I bought a WCW ring.

All my WalMarts are showing limited stock on Brickseek. I assume that means I need to hit them up and see.

Couldn't find the ring today, or the belt. But I am having fun looking, and I am so excited to start finding AEW Merch.
I haven't collected wrestling figures for quite awhile, and I'm happy to be back. I collected wrestling figures from the Hasbro era, until about 2011 of Mattel's run. And I would buy WWE, WCW, ECW, and TNA in the years I collected. But when it got down to only WWE toys from Mattel and no other wrestling companies at retail, along with the fact I was so bored with the WWE programming and overall product, I stopped.
So it's been about 9 years since I bought wrestling figures. But AEW has me back in the game.

I'm guessing they're just backed up with stocking which is perfectly understandable during a pandemic. I'm just impatient, haha. Hopefully won't have these issues when the figures release, I would hate to make daily trips to multiple stores hunting them down.

I very very vaguely remember KB Toys having the TNA figures right next to the gigantic WWE section. Now I’m so upset I didn’t get TNA figures as a kid but I barely knew it existed

I think 648241911 is just the SKU for the Cody figure.
I think it was Chicago who posted 737369577 as the potential general assortment SKU. Although when I search it there's no title or product name on it.

It was one of the first I remember.

Haven't looked at wrestling figures since 2010 or even watched wrestling outside the Network. I'm still only cherry picking this line but it's fun to look for some wrestling figures again. My main focus has been Star Wars for the past 30 years and will continue to be. Little distractions like AEW are always welcome.

Just checked it in the system.
AEW 6" Figures Assortment (item number: 580966130)
AEW Core Fig Ring (item number: 580480945)
AEW World Title Belt (item number: 580480946)
Those item numbers can be put into a handheld terminal by any associate to check inventory or delivery date. Keep in mind that 8/3 is supposed to be the release date, but some stores are scheduled to get their first case a few days after that.

The pallets get pulled to the floor between 7 and 8pm. So you might get lucky and see the boxes sitting on a pallet to get stocked for the night.

Some stores aren't scheduled to get their first case of 6 until after August 3rd and the entire toys department is resetting. If they have pallets of new mod toys waiting to get stocked, it might take a few days to get it all out to the floor. It's all also depending on when the distribution centers actually get the product shipped to the stores.
