I can't recall waiting to see prototypes for something due to be in stock in just a few weeks. We also don't even have official lineups for the next few waves of Elites, Basics, and HOF 4. What's with the sudden drought?

It's probably because of the Elite 39 backlash, I don't think we got proto pics of 40 until they shipped, same with 41

We should get proto before we pay for a product. Can you imagine paying for a car or a house before you buy it? I dunno how people can blindly buy stuff without seeing what they're getting.

I guess because Mattel hasn't sent Ringside or any other suppliers the test shots.

I'd buy a house or car without seeing it if it was $27.99. Plus, we all know the script with the protos anyway: "OMG worst figure ever, wish I never pre-ordered" and then when it arrives, "it's great in hand, glad I pre-ordered."

What is all the hate this guy gets? Ripped apart the current sting elite. Said some pretty nasty stuff that caused a domino effect with other people piling on. Which in turn led to Bill leaving for a while. And I do believe what happened led to us not getting the "special" treatment that we used to get.

Which I remember I wasn't impressed with, until I opened it, it's now my favourite non Warrior figure, much better than the DM imo. Anyways, back to topic lol

Probably because Mattel hasn't given RSC the OK to post them yet.

Ever since all that back and forth we dont see anything anymore. I think posting early protos helps them fix something we all think is off with a figure. We are like a focus group for quality control. Unfortunatley they didnt see it that way and now we wait to see anything. I dont pre order so I dont really care. I can wait then order it if I like it.

I must have missed the E39 backlash. Though I did notice it warming shelves more frequently than previous installments in my area. Part of that is because of the massive order Wal-Mart put in pre-Christmas (like 8 cases of E36, 38 and 39 each), but I also think it's partly due to the high number of flashbacks we've been getting.
There have been a few warmers in my area, but the most notorious examples have been:
E33 Cesaro E34 Paige, Cena, Hogan E36 DDP, Wyatt, Bo E38 Bryan E39 Godfather, Mizdow
None of these area warmers even touch E39 Sycho Sid for me, though. I have three Wal-Marts in reasonable driving distance, all 3 have 10+ Sids (at least). It's extra frustrating because unlike those mentioned above, this one is in greater numbers over longer periods of time. It's like my town's entire population has 0 interest in these. At least the other's were picked at occasionally.
Don't get me wrong, I like Flashbacks as much as the next guy, but 3 per Elite series is a bit much and a sure fire way to have your bread and butter market (kids, parents) ignore you.
I could be way off though.

He then went ahead and bought MULTIPLE E39 Sting figures. Anyways, I don't mind blind pre-orders that bad cause I can always cancel it when the photos do pop up. that said I have yet to do that... Not even with joker Renee.
