It’s not going to get canceled if you approve the delay email. Check your junk/spam folders you should have received one.
I received one each for both Triple H figure and another for the McFarlane Pattinson Batman yesterday. And I am expecting four more today for the set of McFarlane TDKR figures that were supposed to arrive today after being delayed on their first release date of Jan 4. I also received an email today saying my Pattinson Batman shipped today and will arrive tomorrow which is better than the February 11th date the delay email told me yesterday.

Yeah they need to dump the biggest worldwide online retailer. That would be a genius business move by Mattel.

This whole Amazon/Mattel UE Exc garbage just needs to end. According to AFA they dont even communicate with Mattel. Time to move them over to RSC qnd scrape Amazon This seems to be somebody’s solution every time a big retailer (Amazon, Target, Walmart) struggles with the rollout of an exclusive, as if it’s a good idea for Ringside to completely monopolize the wrestling figure business. Can’t get Amazon Fan Takeovers? “Mattel should give them to Ringside!” Can’t find Royal Rumble Elites? “Mattel should give them to Ringside!” Can’t get in on Target’s Legends preorder? “Mattel should give them to Ringside!” Do people think Ringside can, or should, take everything? Ever notice how they get about five exclusives a year, yet Target (for example) gets four waves of Legends, five figures each with chase, plus Royal Rumble and an Ultimate Batista? That’s 22 figures. Walmart gets similar numbers of exclusives, and Amazon has a handful with their two waves of Elite Fan Takeovers and now Ultimates too. Why do those retailers get so many more than Ringside? Because in the big picture, the presence of the line on their shelves and websites matters alot, and the exclusives are used to encourage their support of the main line. That’s never going to change just because some people can’t get every figure they want, when they want. |

The Amazon release dates for Warrior and Triple H changed when the Hogans flipped to August of ‘22. Possibly by mistake? The original release dates were as follows: Ultimate Warrior: February 25, 2022 Triple H: March 25, 2022 Perhaps all this freak out is based on a fluke date mixup and we’ll see these figs on their actual release dates. Wouldn’t it be funny if folks freaked out for months for no reason? They always freak out for no reason lol |

At the end of the day it’s a $30 toy that I will get eventually I’m sure. If I have to wait another month or so, it’s not going to ruin my day.

And I believe Walmart has something close to 5000 stores in the US and Target about half of that. So it’s safe to say that these big chain retailers are getting at least 10-30K of these exclusives. Do we actually think RSC has the warehouse space to stock these or a big enough footprint in the marketplace to sell that much inventory? |

Nor do they “give” any other retailers anything for that matter. They all work out deals with Mattel and the product is paid for before it’s delivered to them. I’m sure Ringside does well, but it still has to operate within its means, both financially and as far as wearhouse space. |

Yeah I agree that Amazon is handling this awfully but they’re not going to go to RSC lol and people who say that must just not understand how things work |

Not a shock, I wish there was a better way to handle the Amazon exclusives. Most have been almost impossible to get a pre-order in. From what I can tell the Triple H has been up for pre-order this whole time with no issues, still haven't pulled the trigger on it as it sits in my wishlist.
But the Hulk, Hardy and Warrior were all gone so fast and the roll out/releases are just so odd and far apart.

I wish it was here today but it’s no big deal I’ll get them when they come in,I’m just glad they easy to pre order and comes right to my door instead of having to track them down in a store if it wasn’t a Amazon exclusive.

Honestly I have a feeling I'm going to return this figure. All Mattel had to do was execute a great head sculpt and they seem to have botched that. If I get it today that is

So I got a notification that I had a $1 charge from Amazon, so I checked my HHH. Had to approve a delay. What’s the charge for then, just to verify the payment is still valid? It’s not for Hogan, because I have a different card set for him.

Check your order status, Amazon sent a notification that needs an approval for a delay. FYI.

Got my delay notification. It is what it is.
Now it's listed as "Not Yet Shipped" and is listed below my Hogan which is still saying "August 3rd".
I don't even care at this point. If I get them, I get them. I'm so dang tired after this week I can't even be bothered to get bothered anymore.
