So, I have this deathly fear of flying. Ever since I was 10 (22 years ago), I've been afraid to be on a plane. I just couldn't grasp how such a large object hurdles through the air. I've made trips here and there with parents, but have not enjoyed it. Now, I have to fly for work, so I can't really try to weasel out of it.
As luck would have it, I have to be in Philly. The weekend before I have to go to meetings and depositions, Sting is at a convention. I've signed up and am going to meet him. So essentially, he's the reason I'm facing my fears. I feel like it's a sign that I'm supposed to fly because I've wanted to meet Sting forever, and am getting afraid that that window to meet him is shrinking.
TL;DR: Scared of flying. Have to because of work. Found out Sting is there. Going to meet Sting.
Anyway, onto the point of this thread. I paid the $350 to meet him and get 6 items signed. Sadly, it looks like I won't have the RSE Mattel Wolfpac Sting signed because it's not due before October I believe.
Ideally, I wanted him to sign the following:
1) DM Crow Sting
2) DM GAB Sting in Red
3) DM Factory Error GAB Sting in Blue
4) DM GAB Sting in White (correct boots)
5) Wolfpac Sting
6) ?
Well, I now have tentatively 2 open slots. I may have 4 because I don't know if I really want to go the red, white and blue route with the DM GAB Figures. Any suggestions? Keep in mind I am going to be lugging around a lot of luggage because of work.
I do have the Basic Surfer Sting, the Elite Raw Sting, and the Basic Crow Sting in my possession. I did want to get a bat signed, but not sure how I can transport that around. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Also, what do you think of the 3 GAB DM Stings signed in Red, White, and Blue respectively?

Wow! I'm not an autograph guy but it does look cool.
However not sure I'd want that many figures signed by the same guy......
That said I'd add elite Raw Sting.
I'm confused on sting in red and in blue GABs. What do they look like?

I'm confused on sting in red and in blue GABs. What do they look like? Sorry. What I meant was have him sign one figure in Red ink, one figure in Blue ink, and one figure in White ink. I just don't know what else to get signed. And, truthfully, I don't want that many figures. I only opted for the VIP pack because of my time crunch. I'm also praying that we can stage a cool photo shot. Doubtful. But, ever since I got Daniel Byran to put me in a headlock, I've wanted something cool from a wrestler each time. I'd love for him to put me in the Scorpion Deathlock, or grab my head back like he did with Eric Bischoff to do the deathdrop, but I HIGHLY doubt that's even allowed. I'd settle for him crossing my legs to setup of the Deathlock. Most likely it'll just be a wolfpac sign or something. |

E39 sting is also worth getting signed. Great figure.

Guarantee he'll remember you forever by taking him a bunch of Triple H figures and a sledgehammer to sign.

I got the Galoob signed. That's an option.

I was deathly afraid of flying for years. I had flown for the first time when I was 17, with family friends. Quick flight and they kept my mind occupied so it was a lot better than expected. Fast forward 12 years and I had to fly again. I psyched myself out so bad that I gave myself anxiety. I was with my best friend so there was so level of comfort but I just convinced myself nothing would go wrong. I'm a very logic based person and logically the chances of anything bad happening are so slim it's not worth worrying about. I've flown 4-5 times since. A few for work also that I couldn't get out of. I wouldn't say I'm fine but it's pretty much alright. You'll be fine.
Ps. Get a belt or a bat signed. If Mattel loses the license or better figures come along in the future your signed figure won't seem outdated.

I met him 2 years ago and had a black baseball bat signed in silver. It looks awesome and it's a really unique piece in my collection. I also got my big gold belt signed by him as well.
My suggestion would be:
1) GAB DM
2) Crow DM
3) Raw elite
4) Bat
5) Big gold belt
6) poster or 16x20 print
7) hmmm maybe an old WCW magazine with him on the cover?

You should beg Sting to compete in a 3 stages of hell match-up against The Undertaker @wm.
The 1st stage should be a staring contest
The 2nd stage a posing contest
And heaven forbid, there shall be a 3rd and final contest, it should be an arm wrestling match-up.
Anything it takes to see these two face off @wm through hell or high water.

Good luck! I met Sting in July and he was very friendly. I got Crow Sting DM signed in white (looks amazing), GAB Sting in light blue (looks amazing) and E39 in red (looks amazing, lol). Personally I'd suggest swapping out the two bonus GAB Stings for something else ... maybe E39 or the galoob faces of sting set? He'll also have plenty of pictures to get signed if you're short an item or whatever. Part of the package I got included a 18 X 24 signed photo of him from Wrestlemania, and though I don't love it as much as the signed figures it's still pretty cool.

He's a nice guy, kind of quiet though. I met him a few years ago and had him sign some magazine covers that he was on, along with taking a pic with him. The magazines look awesome framed in my gym/mancave.

I would say the E39 Sting. Just got one about a month ago. Great figure, easily one of my favorites. If not him, hopefully HOF4 hits before you leave! Good luck, Sting is in my top 5 want-to-meet.

It'd be perfect if HOF4 Sting comes out before then. Not looking likely, but who knows.

Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

Just bring him a Seth Rollins figure to sign.
Stinger: "Umm... I'm not Seth Rollins"
You: "But he ended your career!!"
Have you considered figures outside of the realm of Mattel?
