May not mean anything but the new DM sting is listed at the top of the pre order list now over at ringside collectibles. It use to be towards the bottom of the pre order list because they are listed in order of availability but now it's above the exclusive Jericho which was due in mid may. I think that does mean something Estimated shipping date still says Mid June but I wouldn't be surprised if shipping notifications were sent out within a few weeks.

I have a feeling that DM Sting is going to warm hard. Just like The DM Undertaker

Noticed that a bunch of DM Surfer Sting's are up on ebay, and another boardie on here (forget who - sorry!) saying they're already available in the UK,got me to thinking... Will we have to wait til June to get him here in the States? Seems we would get it much sooner,considering it's already been out.... Then,I thought of the OTHER question - will RSC get screwed again on a DM release?! Since they have it listed for Early-June... For those not in the know, ever since the relaunch of the DM line, it seems,without fail ,that the figures are found at retail the same time as RSC gets them in, or,in quite a few cases, were found at retail BEFORE RSC got their shipments in from Mattel,making the point of ordering them here to get them early moot...I can't help but get the feeling the trend is going to continue with Sting. I'm sorry but I am not sure how RSC is getting screwed....

I'm sorry but I am not sure how RSC is getting screwed.... They are getting screwed in the fact that if they are paying for them to come straight from the factory early, or overnighted or however they do it, and retail has already gotten loads of them. People buy from retail and back out of their order or simply expect this now and don't order At all. That's how they are getting screwed But I'm like the other poster said. I doubt they pay to get DM's expedited (except Hogan), so it's a moot point

Think about it, sting is on sale for $24.99 I think, which I consider very fair. But I remember paying $29.99 for Finn Balor when he first went up for pre order. To your point it may have to do with what RSC pays to have items shipped from overseas.

The only time I can see it worthwhile for RSC to expedite these DM's, where they can actually make some $$$ ($30.99 - $32.99 each) is WM3 Macho, Hollywood, Goldberg, Dude Love - decked out of course -, or maybe a couple others I'm not thinking of. Just my opinion

Yea seems weird they getting them later. I want the second run with the correct boots so I'm waiting for retail unless rs offers ones with the correct boot. What about the face scan!!!!! Its a Warrior Face! Screw the Boots! Not his face! Looks like Warrior! Is no one going to aknowledge that?

It is an expression Sting made in almost every match and many interviews.

Just my opinion I agree,.. Minus Goldberg.
