Is the ring closer to like, Jakks hardcore ring size than the spring rings ? Really considering this one

Yeah, it’s closer to a hardcore ring than the spring rings. It’s a really good size imo. It’s not too big for those with limited space but it’s big enough.

I'm honestly surprised with the white-hot hype and 'chaos' the launch of S1 has created online that S2 isn't already on backorder. Especially given what an extremely solid set it is.

You mean the $145 pre order for six figs? That’s why.

The entire wave of 6 in-stores is going to cost around $123-$124 after taxes. 

I got S2 with a coupon for $144 from RSC which boils down to around a $20 difference. Most collectors have already burnt through $10-20 in gas looking for S1 during this debacle. 

Now I'd be inclined to agree about the Mattel Elite series. Those usually sell on RSC from anywhere from $150-$160 a set of 6 which is about a $50-60 markup from retail. Waaay to much for me to ever justify. But $4 extra bucks a figure to avoid this headache? I'll take it lol

Went to the two Walmart’s nearest to me, nothing, but one did have the pegs for them. The hunt continues..

Luckily I preordered series 2. Probably will do the same for 3. Just seems easier.

[HeelPiper]

Not being able to buy these easily on release day was one thing, but if they aren't available before Sunday nationally WTH!

What is the hold up? My Walmart has the tags up as of today, so I'm hopeful.

After tax and all, all 6 would be around that much retail so that’s a weird complaint

I'd gladly pay that $25 difference just for the gasoline it take to find a set.

I preorderd series 2 just because of the hype and Walmart fails. Came to $139 with priority shipping and the 10% off. Retail would cost me $127.

I was being generous with the numbers lol

When I saw how cheap that pre-order was, I didn't think twice. Complete sets of Elites have gotten bonkers. I hope Unrivaled stays this cheap.

Wouldn't get your hopes up. The closest one to me has had the tags up since Tuesday.

Do you get no tax on that? Cause mine came to $151 with priority shipping and 10% off but with $12 tax.

Checked my Walmart again today. No signs of AEW.

Luckily my preorders came in today. Was just hoping to see a possible exclusive

I'm hoping next week is more productive. Those end-caps should help!

Those exclusives are going to go for crazy amounts of money. The market on them is already shot.

Still nada on Brickseek in my area. Starting to feel like the guy combing the desert in Spaceballs.

[dirtyheel]

So what's the official number for brickseek?

I'm guessing the should have them by the end of this week, but I'm constantly checking brickseek everyday and I live close to two Walmarts. I just want to find a Chase figure lol

I am still wondering if Ringside received any. If so they could put them up as 1 per customer and I'm sure they'd sell out fast. Like say they got in 10 Cody's.

I emailed them a while back and asked if they would have the chases on the site and they said when they get them they will likely be listed on the site. So I'm thinking they probably took them out and once they have a big enough stock they'll put them up

[SodaGuy]

Stopped by my Walmart earlier to grab some things and checked the figures just incase but no luck. They’re seemingly done with the reset and have the pegs but no figures. 😕
