New AEW MM solicitation in late March. Can't wait for these! I am deathly afraid that the first box set is going to be cancelled to pull the Punk figure, so I won't be comfortable until I have it in my hands. Quote
DSTZach Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Nope, they should be here soon. He's our first Gallery Diorama, as well (due in May), so I'm hoping Chuck knows something I don't. Quote
Smashmaster12 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Okay, I gotta ask because I don’t understand wrestling at all but I’m also incredibly nosy— Who is CM Punk and what did he do Quote
DSTZach Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 He's a VERY popular wrestler who got in a real fight with some of the other AEW talent backstage. The other talent have returned, but Punk was injured at the time, so I am hoping they're just waiting for him to be 100%. Quote

LoL Yeah, he’s had a lot of controversy surrounding his career. IMHO, super talented wrestler. But he’s constantly in his own way. Edited February 28, 2023 by Freaqualizer Quote

I think we can hope that it BECOMES part of his story. It's possible that everyone involved can see that a feud with The Elite based on their real word issues would be a huge, huge program and make everyone a ton of money. It's also possible that no one wants to work together and he just never comes back. 🤷♂️ Quote
AugieWargo Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 any word on when we can expect Series one or the announcement of series two? Quote
DSTZach Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Series 1 should arrive any day now. Series 2 will be offered this summer. First two-pack (Young Bucks) will arrive this summer. Second two-pack will be revealed end of month. Deluxe set will be revealed end of month and offered end of next month. Lots of cool stuff coming. Quote
AugieWargo Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Thank you, Zach. Can’t wait for all of this to hit. Quote
DSTZach Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 New info: Second two-pack will be revealed early April as part of Fan Expo. Deluxe set will be revealed early April and offered late April. Quote
funkguerilla Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 I'm intrigued by this Deluxe set. Fingers crossed for some kind of turnstile/ring set up Quote
THE_CRIPPLER Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 Any update to when Series 1 is going to ship? Any tray pics Zach? Quote
DSTZach Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) I wish I had a sample! Ship date I'm seeing still says late February, but that may be out of the factory. Should arrive soon. Reveal of new 2-pack and deluxe set on 4/13. Deluxe set should be solicited late May. Edited March 30, 2023 by DSTZach Quote
hellpop Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 Do you get to go to the Fan Expo Zach? Is that in Vegas? Quote
DSTZach Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) You know, we called our thing a Fan Expo without really taking into consideration that there IS a Fan Expo convention elsewhere. Ours is just an online thing that incorporates a Showcase of new products, plus some interviews with talent. I THOUGHT it sounded too good to not be taken. As far as the AEW Fan Fest goes, I do not think we will be attending. Still no product to sell! It's coming up pretty soon, I think. Edited March 31, 2023 by DSTZach Quote
DSTZach Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 Series 1 is in the warehouse now. Probably in stores next Wednesday. Quote

I don't know if they are doing those any more. I've been to a couple live AEW shows (a Dynamite in Philly and the PPV they did in Newark) and it's a blast. Definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about going. Maybe we should do a MMMV meetup in London for All In in August! Quote

It seems that Minimate releases seem to barely even trickle out these days. It's like one new set every month or two. GI. Joe sets should be coming out more consistently to help get non Minimate collectors to take notice and get interested in them. I think that is probably the second most popular license you guys have, yet we have not seen very much since it was announced that you had the license for them. Quote

I think that is probably the second most popular license you guys have, yet we have not seen very much since it was announced that you had the license for them. I am a firm believe in momentum, making a line collectable enough (i.e. having enough releases) to be collected. But it's hard to keep cranking them out when sales are on a downward trend. I think we would do better with less expensive sets, like on a single blister card, but I'm not sure everyone else agrees with me, here or at HQ. And you'll get two sets next week, I believe! AEW and Power Rangers. Not sure what will be next. D&D, possibly? After that, maybe TMNT Blimp set or the SDCC box set we're doing. We're going to start offering more sets soon, so perhaps we'll have more than one per month in the near future. Quote
luke314pi Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 Here are screenshots from Diamond's showcase that showed the 2 new AEW sets, Sting and Darby Allin 2-pack, and an AEW wrestling ring with an Excalibur Minimate and accessories such as a ladder and chair: Quote
