I wish there was a list of people who missed their windows to get figures, or who is overdue.

Eh, I guess they aren't shipping to the Uk so there's no point investing any excitement into em lol. What makes you say that? I'm out of the loop on all of this. |

I wish there was a list of people who missed their windows to get figures, or who is overdue. Some of these are reaching (as In lower mid card) but here is a list of some WWF 89-95 guys that never got made via Hasbro or Retro . Didn’t include Bravo because he’s being made now Bad News Owen Mabel Mo Power N Glory Brain busters Haku Babarian Orient Express Ahmed Johnson Jarrett Backlund John Studd (in rumble 89) Harley Race (in Rumble 89) Jerry Lawler There’s more guys for sure but it depends how far down cards you want to go |

What makes you say that? I'm out of the loop on all of this. Honestly, it’s not a great way of asking potential customers to hang fire. It comes across a bit micro agro. Could easily have just said something along the lines of: “To all of our overseas customers, we’ll get info to you all ASAP, we’re working on logistics, it’s great to see so much interest.” Rather than pleading people to stop asking questions. Maybe I’m picking up on a tone that isn’t there, but apparently I’m not the only one. Either way, fingers crossed for them, hopefully they can meet demand as they look great. Hi, You are picking up on a tone that doesn’t exist, I don’t know how you picked up “a bit micro agro” as I was stating what the current status is of UK shipping. I’ve responded to endless posts and DM’s with nothing but the most sincere gratitude, openly stating how thankful I am for everyone’s interest and support, so you are mistaken as to my tone. With UK shipping, it’s difficult: First, you have the massive package delays from covid, not to mention many packages arriving damaged or going missing. And then there’s the newly imposed VAT tax that we would have to collect and then pay back to the UK. Yet, another step for us to worry about and more time exhausted. UK distribution to a vendor is not a question as we are not trusting anyone else to be in charge of our figures. Anyone being in my position would do the same thing. I am by no means ruling out UK shipping, but as my tweet stated, we are working it out. By saying our focus is in the states, well, it is considering we are based in the United States and have to figure out everything here FIRST before we move on to Canada, UK, Australia etc. it’s like figuring out how to walk before we could run. I DO appreciate everyone who will support this line, and support the little engine that could essentially. ALOT, more than anyone will ever realize is going into this line, it is entirely being self financed, We’ve secured the same factories to make these figures that make 1/6 scale sideshow collectible and Super 7 figures. I’m putting out only the best quality, far beyond what any mainstream company is offering as far as wrestling figures go and signing the most unique names that are possible that fellow wrestling fans would get excited for. I hope everyone continues to watch the process unfold and eagerly await to see the finished sculpts of every figure as well as our beautifully illustrated backing cards. Thank you again everyone !

ZS Well look at it this way, these figs are gonna be 2 week or however long open pre orders and there's clearly no plans to do worldwide shipping as we're months away and all Zombie's giving us are reasons why it won't happen. Maybe they'll get it sorted for future waves but then everyone overseas has missed out on Sabu, Brody, Bravo etc. I certainly don't blame him, he's essentially starting a new business here and I'm sure going worldwide from day one is very difficult. But as an overseas fan if I can't get on board with these on day one, which includes a guy actively missing from the hasbro line like Bravo then I'd either have to rely on someone from the US being willing to help me out, pay inflated ebay prices or just forget about them entirely. |

Ok. So, I don’t think I’d be able to support everyone, but, I’d be more than happy to help some folks overseas with obtaining these.
I may be a noob here, but, I have good feedback on other message boards that I’ve made trades in. And I have 100% positive feedback with 403 transactions on eBay.
I can understand if people are skeptical, but, I do believe in community and wouldn’t screw anyone intentionally. I’m not a very well versed shipper, but, I’m one hell of a buyer. LoL. So, there could be a few hiccups if I’m shipping overseas.

Definite buy - without hesitation! I still don’t understand why he was overlooked by Hasbro. It's mostly a timing thing. The best opportunity to get a figure of him realistically would have been in 1988 with LJN, because that set was based heavily on mid-late 1987, but if they did a second series in 1988 they'd have hit the time period when he started to get the push after the angle at the Royal Rumble. With Hasbro, the first series is based on late 1988/early 1989, and he wasn't a major factor at that point. Series 2 is based on late 1989/early 1990, and he was really just Earthquake's heater at that point and really not doing a lot in terms of matches on TV and frankly, if Quake didn't make it in to series 2, Bravo wasn't making it in. Series 3 is based on late 1990/1991 and Bravo was basically long done as a relevant character at that point. |

So is the pre-order closed to anyone outside of the US? Will there be a separate pre-order for anyone outside the US?

Would you be willing to tell me more about this? Even by private message on here?

Let’s forget one second about Brexit and concentrate on the awesome lineup ZST is starting with!
Personally the classic characters are an absolute highlight for me, but - despite being from Germany - I will find a way to order the whole set.
@zombiesailor If you are interested I am always willing to help you with getting in touch with „S.P.A.C.E. Figuren“ the official European supplier/partner of Super7. They are extremely professional and have a customer base all over Europe (even UK lol).
All the best for your figure line. I remember having a lose chat with you about the need of such an independent figure line when you were offering the orange cards and Rons Undertaker drawing. I had honestly no idea that you would ever come up with something like this nor would I have imagined such a fantastic lineup. Writing this, I start to wonder if you were secretly already working on this back than...

ZST has really spoiled us so far. It's only been 2 days since the last announcement and I'm already getting itchy for more.
