I only caught bits and pieces a month or so ago, but what is going on with the Sting figure?
Wasn't he supposed to be coming soon? Or got pushed back?
Apologies if this was already covered, and I just missed it, but -- I saw bits and pieces here and there but -- there was talk of August, then the pre order tab at the top of the board came down real quick.
Just a bit perplexing?
Thanks for the info, in advance.

I have no idea. I just made a thread about how figures take SOOO long to make so maybe someone who sees that might know also.

....and here we are in the UK possibly getting him today! Is that from when you pre-ordered from RSC?

The only ones I need sped up are Sting arriving (since I'm in the process of moving, would be nice not to have to stress about RSC shipping to the right addy) ...and I want an elite Balor. You can put everything else on hold, Mattel. Finn requires special attention. And Bayley, because she's Bayley.

Last I had heard was that it was pushed into August. Not sure if that's still holding up.

According to the Smyths website (here in the UK) he is due out any day now... 10th-17th June. No doubt you'll hear/read about it if this turns out to be true!

I heard it'll drop from the rafters when it's ready as a huge swerve.

I thought they said around Summerslam? They did, but then Mattel told RSC their 1st shipmemt preorder was getting pushed back a few weeks. So now it seems they aren't getting their order earlier than retail like they usually do.

They were supposed to all be out around the big 4 ppvs so think August was always the intended release, but we got Hogan and Razor way early. Sting was going to be early as well but was pushed back shortly after. Hope they hurry up, long wait for a day 1 pre-order lol.

Yes Sting is hitting our shores between now and the 17th. I imagine it wont be long before he appears in American retailers.

None of us are getting carried away till we have it in our hands though. The retailers have sent tweets, emails and even managers are insisting that he'll be in over the next seven days. We'll just have to wait and see.

The product has become legendary this year but the delays and the sudden impossibility to find figures in my area coupled with junk sets like the basic WM 31 figures and signature series have killed any interest I had, and more and more the Marvel Legends line is on point, so there you go.... I will still get a Sting, but I am probably paring down what I get otherwise.

If Sting shows up in retailers that much sooner, I'll just pick my two up through them. Razor/Hogan are shelf warming hard at some stores, and were wiped out at others. So we'll see.
