The biggest difference is that he was intentionally trying to deceive people with saying this were sold out. Other than that, I don’t mind it at all. That’s exactly the point. I don’t mind the hustle, but fool me once shame on you, fool me twice…eh eh not gonna happen again! Did he over-produce in his earlier waves? Like BOTH Sabus are still available, and one was a con exclusive...I'm surprised he's not hauling out more Jarretts, but he'll "suddenly find them in the back of the warehouse" I'm sure. He can put up series 4 for pre order next month, I’ll pick it up in stock at a holiday sale next year.

This isn’t new, unless I’m mistaken he’s never said series 1 or series 2 is “sold out.” He said from the beginning he’d sell as many as he could, he wouldn’t cap the regular series releases. I don’t care for his style either, but there are plenty of other things to complain about. You could be right. Maybe I am conflating previous times where product was taken off of his web store for whatever reason and then brought back later on. There have been times where items sold out but he had remaining stock due to damaged packaging or extras that were kept in case replacements were needed. Those I don’t fault any company for. I truly thought he at least marked Series 1 Sold Out -- I could be wrong, but I don't think so (but also too lazy to go back and look...)

He has marked most stock as “sold out” at some point only to reappear. “Sold out” for ZST means he allocated a certain amount to be for sale on his site and now they’re gone, that doesn’t account for the figs he put to the side for a later time. His word play with “sold out” is getting close to the line but not quite over it. Having said that, when he put CM Punk in the “vault” NEVER to be offered again then reopened sales Wrestlemania weekend that was a CATACLYSMIC business ethics violation.

Interestingly the 2 orange cards.

Interestingly the 2 orange cards. Incorrect. Rock & Roll Collectibles ended up with a healthy amount of stock of both well after they were released/sold out. Booger is STILL available there.

I've been close to getting JJ a few times only to end up not bothering because it's honestly not worth the price.

Tbf, just checked and JJ is no longer on there, but Booger is.
JJ was on there the last time I checked, though, so he's been up a while.

For anyone interested, Danhausen is now £23 and green Sabu is £26. They're the lowest priced ZST figures I've ever seen.

Oh, to finish my thought that I forgot. I bought Bastion Booger from ZST site. I am fairly certain this was not when it was originally released. December 6th is when I purchased him so if I am right he was restocked.

I'm not really a Danhausen fan but I'd possibly consider getting it just cos it's cheap 😄

Apparently the card is creased and/or has indents, which isn't too bad, really. I've just stuck one in the cart, dunno if I'll actually buy it yet but I may do. I've just noticed I've got Dan Spivey in my cart as well. Kevin Sullivan is £57... Incredible.

Rock and Roll Collectables has ZST, G&G, Rush and Mat Maniacs in their "Exclusive" section, so you can have a Dan Spivey and a Danhausen in your basket at one time if you so wish, lol. I've not pulled the trigger yet.

Is Series 4 a pre-order or in-stock offering?
Going through ZST socials right now has no mention of it being a preorder, but series 1&2 had clear and multiple references of being a preorder.
Has he mentioned it on a podcast?

I wouldn't worry about Series 4 selling out, you might as well wait for one of the inevitable sales he runs and pick them all up for a fraction of the price

I haven't seen things like Pettengil go up again -- also the Series 1 Cardona/Myers. So some things really may have sold out...
