This is really not looking good for AEW or Jazzwares. If they were touting that the set would hit August 1st, multiple boxes should have been at Walmart’s before August 1st and stocked asap. Now it’s just looking like a hot mess wild goose chase.
My grandma works for multiple Walmart’s doing some sort of stock check (I’m not exactly sure wtf it is) but she has been checking. So far nada in my area. That’s a lot of Walmart’s!
Btw, are some actually reporting that literally one case made it in to a store? WHAAAT? Sorry but this “launch” looks like a big flop to me. This should have been planned better on all parts. It’s sucking the excitement out of what should have been a cool thing. Plus now we have scalpers doing their thing...3/10 😂
Worst release date ever.

They have an eta to arrive at distribution centers today then start shipping to stores. I say eta very loosely. I actually broke down and dropped a small fortune on a set on eBay today and I work at Walmart 😂. By the time both companies get this right it might be too late for series 1 You and me both, brother. The more updates you've posted along with what others have heard from employees caused me to just break down and succumb to the scalpers. Going the safe route in the future and will be pre-ordering everything.

This is why we order from Ringside. Is it worth all this hassle of checking store after store to only be frustrated

While no company is perfect, you can’t deny the value of being able to avoid the nonsense that is in-person store visits, and that’s before covid became a thing. The piece of mind in knowing you’re getting exactly what you want, (minus the occasional QC issue) saving time, saving gas, and saving the additional wear and tear on your vehicle typically offsets the extra couple dollars you spend with them. Alllll that said, if you’re unable to order online for some reason, being told definitely today, then definitely 3 days from now, then definitely next week and you’re still waiting for these to be put on shelves because they haven’t been shipped yet is rather frustrating. Probably would have been better to say “Coming this August” to save some of the headache.

I just ordered Omega which is on back order until November. I learned this lesson years ago! If it’s something you really want preorder it. If you don’t need it right away wait for stores. But with all this Covid stuff I just grab everything from Ringside.

Haha Yea man .. hypefiends need to flex for their ig followers and have it before everyone else so they can get YouTube fake internet points. Thought you knew this already I want the figures in the worst way, but a little patience goes a long way. At the end of the day, these are mass market retail figures. Even if the initial waves are "smaller" runs, we're still talking about thousands and thousands of cases. These will be out there, especially given all the talk of standalone displays. The same thing has happened in the WWE line when people freak out that a series will be hard to find, and then a ton of it gets dumped into a shipper. I wish the rollout was smoother, but Jeremy has been very active on twitter fielding questions and sharing information. I honestly can't ask for more than that at this stage.

COVID has made street dated releases an impossible mess. I just hope we never see anything as hard to get as last month's NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets at Walmart and Target.

Video Games are still on point. I think the issue is simply the insistence on a street date rather than simply August 2020. I’m here in Central Louisiana and nothing anywhere yet. I preordered Camo Fish and O’Reilly because I know Mattel sucks getting product out and it’s a huge hit or miss. I didn’t preorder AEW because I wanted to see if they could handle it. Starting to believe they aren’t any different. Will Pre-Order going forward.
