Do we NEED a vault? With Mattel I get it...the line has been going for 15 years. Jazwares has been making figures for...four? I'd rather see Jazwares focus on the current lines they have. Improve the headscans, focus on quality control. Stop inventing MORE series. Jeremy has always been bold and inventive and that drives his success but we genuinely need quality over quantity, not another series. With a figure line less than five years old, let's focus on going forward. Get your current series of figures out to consumers. Increase your quality. Vault is just branding. It allows them to have a direct to consumer platform to sell products that they can't get retailers to pick up and that cut out the middleman. If they were able to consistently deliver product to mass market reail, this would be a huge win for most collectors. They haven't, and are rightfully getting scrutiny over this rollout.

Or maybe don’t make a figure that is highly in demand that people been asking 3 years for a f’n Walmart exclusive instead of a full mass retail item. Then make a figure that’s not a high demand figure a pegwarming mass retail item. If they made that Archer, Rose or Supreme Baker figures 1/5000 or 1/3000s exclusives respectively they probably would have sold out because the diehard completists would have still purchased them. There was a ton of middle ground that they never touched. They didn't need to have one woman per wave and they didn't need to be packed at 1/case. I don't think slapping the chase sticker on them and paywalling them like they did with The Bunny was the answer either. They went out of the gate hot with a product that WAS hot, but had little depth. Once you got past series 2, the name value fell off a cliff. Archer, Nyla, SCU, etc just didn't have enough draw to sell figures at a national scale, and still don't. AEW has built some home grown stars. But a lot of the early choices (Scorpio, Private Party) of who to build really fell flat. Unfortunately the toy line is so far behind right now that I have no clue how to get things aligned. I don't know the right middle ground besides either exploring short packing less desired figures, or starting out of the gate with a cheaper line you can slot them into. Maybe Vault would have been a better idea a long time ago to accurately gauge demand on figures that bombed at retail? I'm still undecided on the ROH line, but the multipacks they showed were all decent I thought. I'm not sure I need a 4th Malakai that isn't too different from the last Supreme offering. I'd echo the other post here that I'm not sure this line needs more niche and higher priced options to attract collectors at the moment.

Brother, with AEW figures we need quality AND quantity. 3 waves a year with a couple of Ringside exclusives and two pack repaints isn't cutting it. It's why this board has been so negative over the past year. 80% of posts here are about how slow and infrequent Jazwares is and how the "line is dying" or people wanting Jazwares to lose the license. If Jazawares Vault and the Target & Walmart exclusives free up to log jam from the past few years, I'm all for it. Plus I want Ring of Honor Figures. I don't know how many they'll truthfully end up making, but I'm all in on those because they would never sell at mass market retail.

I'm all for this and I hope it works out. I'm just concerned about pricing. Hopefully they can keep figures around retail price and offer some kind of shipping options that don't break the bank.

I wonder if the Briscoes will go up for order when it goes live?
So wonder what day it will go live?

You can count me in on an ROH Danhausen, ROH Danielson and Death Triangle 3-Pack.
BUT I am not going to lose any sleep on losing out on these if this Vault turns into a typical Jazwares fiasco on par with their other recent business decisions.

I sincerely hope that they have changed their minds about making these 1/3000 or 1/5000 and will use a made-to-order model instead.

Perhaps they will make some items as made to order, but everything they already decided will be limited run is going to stay that way. Jeremy loves this artificial scarcity bs

His contract is up first. Brody and Buddy got like another 2 years. Idk understand what he thinks he’ll do different in the fed besides a huge pop on his return but hey time will tell.

I think he just wants to go back to work with his wife again. WWE will never have him more than mid card filler. Agree he could be a much bigger deal in AEW

I have zero expectations with the line anymore unfortunately.
I’d like to get Malakai, The Briscos and maybe Danielson but I won’t be surprised if they all sell out in a few seconds and leave everyone angry again lol
