If you're still this upset, you might consider a different hobby. That's not how this works. Second, I should be allowed to express my disappointment here, and others as well. I'm not the only person upset with how this was handled and the lack of communication here. Just trying to help you de-stress your life. Sorry you're disappointed that you had to wait a whole day to pre-order these easily. There are bigger things going on in the world, and the fact that we can easily pre-order these non-essential items during a pandemic is a major plus.
We've had one thread locked already. You've voiced your opinion multiple times. We all know your position. Maybe just let it be?

I'm not one to complain a lot about Mattel or the way they handle things... but the complete lack of transparency on this combined with the lack of communication with Target on timing for this really does leave a sour taste. Some folks stayed up late only to be rewarded with the figure they wanted being cancelled, a day after designated preorder day. Given there was an ad made, this couldn't have been THAT last minute. While I still supported and grabbed a Valentine and Heenan, and I get that plans change, this is definitely a situation where several companies could have communicated things better. To be fair the Ad only pictured Greg , Heenan and Razor That is exactly my point. You'd think that if that's the case, this wasn't a complete last minute deal, and at least one of the three companies involved could have let us know what was going on without people having to ask.

In general, emotions of any kind that are able to get this elevated on account of action figures can't be considered healthy.

Lol some of yall would have never made it collecting back in the days. We didnt know what figure was coming out until we walked into the store and saw it on the back of the card. Stay humble

I should note that I'm not super worked up about it, not angry or anything.. just pointing out some errors that were made, in hopes that the parties involved can course correct for the future.

The good news is, it's possible the Sting figure could still get released somewhere else down the line. So, at least there's the hope this issue is resolvable at some point.

Based on Cody's response on Twitter, certainly sounds like Sting is AEW bound. Be still my beating heart.

Since Sting was the anchor in a case of five, I wonder how this will pack now. Guessing 2 Razor, 2 Valentine, 1 Heenan.

Hoping this is just a momentary situation and when this all settles down they can get Sting to resign his legends deal.

Def disappointing about Sting. Not mattels fault. I’m sure they are just as bummed.

I pre-ordered 2 Valentines, 2 Heenans, and 1 Razor. Hoping to get a chase Valentine. Stinks about Sting but I'm sure it will be resolved quickly. Flairs issues were over pretty quickly.

I'd be very interested to see what Jazwares could do with a Sting figure. The cloth jackets on the Bucks in S1 were really impressive, and pretty similar to Sting's 90's gear. More importantly, it would be cool to see him involved in wrestling again. Hopefully in a non-wrestling role. It seems like he still has a passion for the business, from some of the interviews I've seen.

I've been wanting that version of Sting for so long now...For them to finally do it and be teased for months with photos, just to have it pulled last minute, is absolutely devastating.

Stay humble And don’t forget about when they put the figure on the back but it was cancelled and you could never find it or wonder what happen

Look at the bright side - to make up for Sting, maybe they’ll increase the number of Valentines and make it easier to find the chase (if you’re interested in both versions).
