I am not defending Mattel, but no one can read exactly how popular a figure can be. For all we know, they could make a John Cena figure, who everyone already has, but there may be something about it that makes it a "hot" item. then again, there could be someone like Zack Ryder who people are dying for, but he may wind up warming shelves. You can't predict who will sell and who won't, you just gotta bite the bullet and take a stab at it, with hopes for the best in the end. There's always going to be pegwarmers. But it was Mattel that said Legends sales were bad. We're getting off topic. I should shut up. Good counter points though. I apologize too, I was getting off topic as well. Back on topic, he was probably short packed and they got so many orders for him, that they realized they could no longer order more to fill orders, so they removed him from the site. Same thing happened with the Nexus figures. |

Ok. Wow. I thought I would be safe in waiting for them to come in stock to order the whole set. I ve had to refocus my funds ,so I knew there would be no preorders placed in may. Figured on waiting until june when I had the cash. Damn.

To be fair, Mattel does offer cases of single figures for their DC Classics line. So this wouldn't be an odd idea for them

I remember you could get straight cases of certain people from jakks too so it isnt unheard of

Didn't Mattel ship out cases solely containing Sheamus?

Like the others said he has just sold out. They sold all of what they are expecting to get in in their 2 shipments. Also RSC has received their first shipment of Legends 6 and are packing up preorders now. Hopefully my orders will be her tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.

Just curious if someone could answer this...
I really wanted to get a Modern Day Warrior Kerry Von Erich, but I've been waiting for some reason. At this point RSC is backordered until Mid-June. Would I get the product sooner/pay more if I waited until Mattel.com/wwe.com/retail got them or should I just cave in an buy it here at RSC? Thanks for your thoughts.

I'd say it would still be faster from RSC. Mattel didn't put the other series of Legends up until after RSC had their second shipments so I'd bet this series will be the same.

there are some other toy sites that have Texas Tornado up for pre-order. And its the same price as RSC. Im not going to mention any sites, as last time i did the post was removed. But if you really want one just look around the net and i promise you will find one!

No problem. And I just received a shipping notice for my order for a complete set via UPS. I guess my first order fr the extra Tornado will be coming via USPS. Hopefully I'll get that shipping notice sometime past midnight tonight.

He must be sold out, I don't know why they would cancel it being that they showed it at toyfair and with ringside taking preorders!

Myself and others have already posted pics of ours when our orders arrived from RSC a day or two after this was asked. But yes he has already sold out on their preorders for their second shipment in June. Here's a link to my pics of Series 6 - wfigs.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=wftmattel&action=display&thread=215570 |

Thought I'd snap another pic of my Kerry fix-ups to add to this thread too! You don't necessarily see it, but I switched out Texas Tornado's short mis-matched boots for an extra pair of tall black Rick Rude ones (lettering acetone-d off). It's 1984 David Von Erich Memorial Parade of Champions Kerry and SummerSlam 90 Kerry:  |

D@mn you Bandy! Everytime I see those you make me wish I had ordered another Tornado and 2 WCCW Kerry's so I can do that already. Yes I know I can do it now with what I have (2 Tornado's and a WCCW), but with the guys I really like...I like to have 3 of them before I do customs. (1 in the display, 1 to pose/play around with at my computer table and 1 for customs)So I now have to wait until June or they show up locally before I can do those. Again D@mn you! They look AMAZING!!!
