If we leave all the speculation off of the table and just look at the facts, the last we heard from Bill was the line is doing well and he is working on the 2016 plans already- as stated here already.
I can say where I am, they seem to be moving through them at a decent pace- plus the economy is just plain better than it was the first time Defining Moments were on shelves at this price.
Bottom line- there are packaged product pictures, an RSC preorder, and absolutely no word from anyone that has any decision making powers that it's been cancelled- I know we're impatient and bored but guys, it could be worse.This could be a retailer exclusive amiibo!

If this small retailers are having orders canceled it could be because the larger retail chains upped their orders. This has happened in the past with Mattel's DCUC line. Online stores had their orders canceled because the major retailers decided to add to their orders. Of course until RSC or MDT come here and say it is canceled it is still coming out around SummerSlam which was what Bill had said way back when it was first shown.

All this "he said" , "she said" isn't really getting us anywhere. If anyone from ringside sees this thread could you please post any form of an update on the matter?

I agree, it's coming out when they originally said it would. We have been spoiled getting things early for a long time now. This is what happens to smaller retailers. The bigger companies gobble up stock if something is selling well. This could be a very good sign rather than a bad one. Delays happen in production. Stuff we don't hear about. They had a bad batch of plastic or paint, a machine broke down causing delays, the jacket was tearing easily, you just don't know. And it could be pushed back because big retailers have other stuff they want to put out or get caught up on. Target may want it pushed back because of the HOF line/Horsemen set. TRU may want it pushed back to clear out back stock since they can't seem to get on the same page all over the country. Walmart may want it later to clean out the basic line some. If 3 of the larger retailers want it pushed back to get something new in at a time when not much else is released, it's a good way to keep people coming in during different times.

I think it may have something to do with how it looked all packaged up, nothing serious just a slight delay maybe? Hopefully

I think it's just getting pushed back because there is a lot coming around early June with the HOF set and E36. August only has E37 coming and only flashback is Dean malenko so now sting too

If they pushing the date back to fix a problem I think that Great! Good for MDT for not releasing a product unworthy of them and disappointing us.
But it's probably not something to worry about.

I think this is much ado about nothing, and in August everyone will be happy and posting their photos of Sting in action and display shots and this board will be a happy place full of happy little boys and girls with their new Sting DM figure...I know I will be one.

I remember Hasbro delaying the 6" Star Wars Black Chewbacca figure (and a crap load of people on Star Wars forums said he had been cancelled as well) because the way he was positioned in the box looked odd to the folks at Luasfilm. He is about and inch or so taller than the rest, so they had him in this strange "running" pose to accommodate his extra height... Anyway, Hasbro tweaked the actual packaging, not the figure itself, and it came out all the same, just in a later wave. Maybe WWE, or Sting himself, didn't agree with something and the figure is just being pushed back because of that. Hell, maybe they should have delayed "Sargent" Slaughter or the undersized / underweight Undertaker and Kane figures to get them right as well. Let's all try and have a positive attitude!

Its not cancelled. Prob fixing complaints about box I can understand this, around the head didn't look quite right, and even though I'd have preferred an earlier Sting, it looked awesome besides that issue

Delays are just part of any product occasionally. Nothing to worry about.
