I think Johnny shirt is a safe bet, especially since it would be the fastest turnaround time in terms of production. IRS seems pretty likely for the Brawler - one was shown ages ago and still hasn't shown up anywhere. Overall a pretty good lineup and I'm looking forward to it. |

Johnny is almost definitely a shirt and IRS is almost definitely the Brawler. I would think Cole is the other shirt, and I think Cardona is the auto. Yup |

December Thoughts: -The Steen Wolf shirt features one of my favorite wrestlers of all time parodying an 80s movie I enjoy a great deal despite it being quite dated. Suffice to say, I'm a big fan. -The Foley shirt is cool in concept, but I feel like something is missing in the execution. Not nearly as good as it should have been. -Love the Glacier Brawler. Once the lineup came out listing him the same month Mortis is supposed to ship, it became pretty obvious he would be the Brawler, but that's not a bad thing. Bring on Blood Runs Cold. -The comic, pin, and ball are fine, but are just another comic, pin, and ball. -Pillman Jr. auto is cool. EC3, not so much. Overall, the crate is carried by the Glacier Brawler and Steen shirt for me, but those (and to a lesser extent the Foley shirt) are worth the $35.  The lineup for next month has the potential to be incredible depending on the execution. Only issue is that, given leaks and timing, the most boring name is going to be the Brawler. I think across different mystery boxes from different fandoms this is by far the most consistent. I don’t think there’s ever been a month I would say was ‘bad’. There might be months where there’s wrestlers I don’t like etc but the items v price is consistent you very fair and I think they have this mystery box concept nailed. |

What are we guessing for bret? If shirt I might have to jump in. If auto etc I can skip Definitely not the auto. I'm thinking Gargano is definitely one shirt, so the other could be either Bret or Flair. One legend, one current would make sense. I don't think Bret has a shirt yet in the Crates, so I'm hoping it's him. But if all you're really interested in would be a Bret shirt, you could always wait and grab one on the secondary market. You can usually get them for $10-20 on Mercari. I think you're UK based, so not sure if that would complicate things though. |

Yeah uk based, we get them pop up on eBay so I might do that, only thing is getting the right size. I was trying to think what random miscellaneous item they could do for bret and apart from s heart / wing logo keychain or something there’s not much? |

Generally, it seems that AEW talent is almost always a shirt at this point. I was thinking maybe glasses for Bret? Or more likely he’s either the pin or the comic with Flat being the other. I would love a shirt though. |

This seems to lean towards Flair being the brawler. I cancelled my subscription a few months back but I'd really want a flair brawler.

The timeline is a bit too compressed for Flair Brawler still I'd think, plus an image of the IRS Brawler leaked a while ago. Now obviously they could have rushed a Fair Brawler I guess, but it just seems unlikely. |

Ryan also hinted that there could be a future release similar to Macho Man where they do a bunch of color variations of the same guy. Flair seems like a prime candidate, and a much easier route to maximize cash than the Crate, where they're pretty much going to sell out regardless of who is included. |

That colour variant deal is perfect for flair absolutely |

My shirts shipped this week. They better have, after waiting a full two hours in the new period to charge a card I didn't want charged, and me having to shuffle around other pre-orders and cancel some items afterwards.

My AEW Crate #2 came in today. It's a solid B for me. I'll probably wait a couple days for a full breakdown so I don't spoil it for anyone still waiting. But the Brawler was a little meh for me, but happy with the auto and the novelty items were all fun.

The shirts were ok in the elite crate and I like the autograph but wasn’t a fan of the brawler and the other stuff.

But the Brawler was a little meh for me, but happy with the auto and the novelty items were all fun. Isn’t that the one someone broke down above? There are two different boxes - the monthly Pro Wrestling Crate and a quarterly AEW Crate. The last photos were of the December PWC. First AEW Crate of 2022 just shipped this week. They're both put out by Pro Wrestling Tees, so they both follow the same pattern. |
