What about Jericho? I can CONFIRM that my local Walmart had two cases today in the back. They do not show in stock on the site or on brickseek because they have not been inventoried. They are waiting to put them out for the reset. The employee that cracked the cases open showed me what was inside...interestingly, there were two case breakdowns like this: -2 Cody -2 Kenny -1 Matt -1 Nick Interesting that neither full case had a Brandi...will she be a floater in the wave possibly? So we aren't waiting anymore on shipment delays, we are waiting on Walmarts to do their resets. Theyre back there folks...

They also had 3 rings and 3 belts. I grabbed two of the rings while I was there. So once these resets start up theyll be out on shelves! The lady that helped me said this week

Great to know that it sounds like Wal Marts actually have these in back and on August 3rd they should be out on the floor in most if not all of their stores.Hopefully most stores get more then a box of them and 3 or 4 sounds about right.Glad that Jericho,Cody & Omega are 2 per box which should make them a bit easier to find.

Not having Brandi in every case makes sense because well it’s Brandi. But I certainly didn’t miss the days of Mattel not putting everyone in all the cases, they stopped doing that years ago and it’s not something I’m real excited to see again

That would make sense why Brandi keeps going on backorder quicker on RSC than others

Then I realized she must be short packed

I'm sure brickseek is going to be in good use come Monday. I'll just be going early hours after work each day until I see them.

Having Brandi short packed is a smart move, even if it creates some headaches for collectors. I expect we might see that from time to time with women or lower card talents. If it lets them release more talent into the line without backing up pegs, I'm all for it.

Agreed,plus its more then likely that the figures that are really going to be sellers are Jericho,Cody,Young Bucks,Omega,Moxley,Lucha Bros and probably Allin.Basically your biggest stars and or guys that have cool looks and tons of different outfits.Lesser know talent and women talent probably wont be great sellers to your common fan or kids that just randomly pick up action figures and know little to nothing about the product.

I think they have a good number of figures that will sell well, at least on the first release. The names you mentioned, Jungle Express is very kid friendly, MJF has built a strong following, and I think you're going to see a lot of interest when Cage, Lance Archer, and SCU get figures. And I do think we will see legends sooner than later, and I expect those to do really well. My question is will people refresh gear/gimmicks enough for a second/third figure to sell outside of the top guys. But totally agree about the women's division and some of the lower card talent. AEW has blown by expectations, but they still have a footprint that is much smaller than WWE. And it's not like women in the WWE line have done very well, with a few exceptions. But I think this line will do very well just off of adult collectors and casual buyers. I've seen the line talked about a good bit on Reddit and wrestling forums where figures are almost never discussed. I think we'll see a lot of non-collectors buying because they love AEW or want to support the product.

2 cases per store is risky

Ya should be 3 or 4,but I understand not wanting to have to many figures and not being able to move them.So if theirs only two case per store your looking at 4 of each Cody,Jericho and Omega and then 2 of each of the Bucks for a total of 16 figures or so baring if theirs a Brandi or two.This kind of fits the 3 peg set up that the Wal Marts have with 5 or 6 figures per peg.Just hope they all stocked on Monday and that scalpers don't clear out the stock before your regular customers can get them.
