Guess I'll be waiting a while. Got my Series PO on the $1 increase just before they sold thru.

Over the next few months?!?! Man this keeps getting better đ. Please stop using the âPandemicâ excuse you guys. Every other toy company keeps going. Heck even Indie toy companies are doing fine. This is just very poor marketing. At this point, they donât deserve to put any more pre orders up until series 2 is fulfilled. No one come at me with that âyouâre entitledâ bull crap either. Many of us have faithfully given our money. We paid, we are owed. If you pay for a product then your indebted to that product. Otherwise we basically just gave charity Jazwares. So yeah we are entitled to what is owed to us. I wouldnât even put 50% of the blame on Jazwares. Because if Iâm looking for PokĂ©mon, Fortnite, Nerf, or even ING Cabbage Patch Kids are in stock!!

Yes,the pandemic screwed up a lot.
But Jazzwares seems to be getting out everything else that they make with no issues. Just AEW has fallen behind...

Big props to RSC for updating, and sending out the figures in the order of purchase. We all appreciate it.

Disappointing but not unexpected. I know RSC is doing the best they can. Still, lookin at you Jazwares... Would be nice to hear a comment from them.

its amazing that toy companies produce truckloads upon truckloads of absolute GARBAGE craptoys that literally rot for years on store shelves because maybe 4 or 5 kids actually want it
but then you have an incredible fanbase with the wrestling industry, and wrestling figures in general have about the same level of "history" as star wars....i mean when you think about "action figures" you go star wars, maybe gi joe, and then wrestling.
and yet all these companies and retailers are absolutely atrocious at giving the consumers what they want. they'd rather create FAKE demand by short supplying everything so it just gets people in the doors all the time searching for stuff so they might end up buying something else.
im not saying every store should have gotten 15 cases of Series 1, but the distribution was laughably bad on this line from the start, and its no surprise these kinds of things are happening again

People keep bringing up false equivalencies between Jazwares' other lines and Mattel WWE figures being able to produce during a pandemic. These are established brands that had established toy-lines, meaning they had procedures and factories set up prior to the pandemic. Jeremy was very transparent about trying to find an additional factory to meet the demand recently. They obviously underestimated the initial demand and Jeremy himself admitted they under-produced the initial wave. It wasn't underproduced to "create scarcity" or secondary buzz (although Jeremy does love this part of the business). It was underproduced so Jazwares could prove to distributers they could sell through which helps guarantee future shelf placement and future orders. If Jazwares sent out 4X the amount of figures to Walmart for wave one and they sat on the shelfs like the UFC line and eventually clearanced - this line would be in serious jeopardy of not making it to another order. AEW isn't established and doesn't have the name recognization that UFC does make it past a rocky start.
Somewhere along the way, I'm guessing Jazwares has run into more issues with setting up new factories. With new manufactures comes a set of new problems. If AEW is still having this issue on S4 or S5, then that's the appropriate time to freak out.

Think about Power Rangers for instance which is also a line I collect. They announce there figures and then they are available in droves everywhere within days it seems. Ive seen other lines where new product are on shelves before they are even officially announced. Why this cant be done with wrestling figs, who i knows. I dont have an answer really. To that point though its the same with mattel not just jazwares.

I just wanna know when has ringside ever did 1st come 1st serve? Bc as far as I know they do things ass backwards in the shipping department. Not taking shots or anything, but they just havenât ever done things in that way ever. The delay email clearly explains why theyâre doing it in this instance. Theyâre not getting the full shipment at one time as they normally would, so they decided it would only be fair to do it in this manner. I agree with it. When they get a shipment in full itâs not really a big deal as everyone will have their order go out within a few days, a week at most depending how many orders they have to do.

I got the email, too. I like Lucha figures, so those are the ones I pre-ordered. I personally have not enjoyed AEW shows but the figures looked cool. I can't even remember the lucha guys names, so I bought them on their look and that was it. I also bought the cowboy looking guy. Page? I was a little "meh" when the extra heads got pulled from the Lucha figures and I guess I am just slightly bummed that they are delayed. I think I ordered the day after they went up for sale so I guess I will not receive a good news email from Ringside. I 100% know Ringside can't do anything about delays, so anyone whining about that is misguided. I know that the company making these figures are working in a time that is insane so there's no real reason to be throwing blame at things out of their control either. My guess is I will get these after I get Snake Mountain from EE (January or so). I've been culling figures and stuff to make room for Snake Mountain and just to get rid of stuff I am no longer passionate about, so I might not even open these figures before they end up for sale (if there is even a demand for them by then).

What was the original price and then the price increase ? I ordered mine like a day after launch so Iâm pretty sure Iâm way down the list, but curious if I made it before the price hike group.

This is 100% on Jeremy. RSC uses the terms âJazwaresâ and âfactoryâ so that the consumer (us) feels like we canât get actual transparency because they are not actual people. So unless Jeremy wants to throw some suit under the bus itâs on him.
The guy above who mention s4 and s5 made me lol so thank you.
