This is most likely The case as aew figures don't last long until they get reduced here in the UK, also the main street retailer smyths has been cherry picking elite waves for a few years now save a few waves around Christmas time It's all anecdotal, but I've seen a lot of folks saying the line isn't doing great in the UK. It's definitely possible that either Jazwares or the retailers (or both) are making a decision to exclude figures that may be lower selling. And across the board the female figures just don't have strong demand, whether you're talking AEW or WWE. Even Brit's figure - arguably one of the hotter (or at least most featured) acts in the company, and a first time figure - was marked down pretty fast on Ringside. It isn't great for collectors, but it's a better option than losing UK distribution entirely for Jazwares. If the AEW figure even get to shelves around here they sit and rot. There's piles and piles of Santana, Ortiz, Page, Dustin & Miro sitting at every walmart/target that I go to. Kenny, Cody & Darby seem to sell, or at least they're short packed. Ill see them at least once a store but usually they're gone within a week or two. |

I’d like to be able to find a few Santanas & Ortizs now lol |

Only AEW figs I’ve ever seen sit for a prolonged amount of time are Scorpio & Kaz.

Riho, Hager, and Shida all warm around here. Even Britt is plentiful. I can see a case for not wanting as many women figures on shelves. Maybe short pack them like Mattel does.

I’d like to be able to find a few Santanas & Ortizs now lol I'd love to see a version of the old "show a photo of your figure section" thread, AEW style. Aside from Kaz at a few stores and a single Miro, nothing has stuck around for more than a week or two at any of my stores. But I'm also in a decent sized market, with an active collector base, and in a market that AEW has run multiple times. I'm curious if it's a different story in some of the states where AEW isn't as hot. |

I've seen Santana and Ortiz and Scorpio and Kaz be the major warmers when it comes to AEW. Hager lingers a bit too but the other will sit for weeks in some places. Nearly all others are gone within a few days of hitting the shelf.

Riho,SCU,Hager,Ortiz,Santana,Miro and the 2nd MJF was the only ones in my area that didn't sell within the first week. I think I only saw Shida and Britt once or twice each.

Poor Joshi audience in north AL. Riho's and Shida's have sat in multiples for months. SCU and Hager I've seen in the last few trips untouched.

It's The Bucks where I am - all three releases of them. I'm so bored of seeing them now.
