That isn't what you gotta be. There are lots of orders, aside from these as well. Orders take time to be packed. I assure you they are getting to them. Thanks for everyone's patience. just curious why all the influencers got theirs before Christmas while others haven’t shipped yet I got mine already shortly after Christmas but others haven’t All the influencers did not get their sets before Christmas. Some did. When it comes to promotion, in rare cases some sets can be hand-picked specifically outside of the typical standard upon first arriving so we can make sure they're getting looked at and promoted via RSC. This is a pretty standard marketing practice and it's not meant to prioritize influencers, only to make sure the product is promoted well. You know as well as I do if this doesn't happen, the discussions and comments will reflect it, so instead of having influencers get lost in a very, very busy holiday season shuffle, a few sets were sent out. Otherwise, "lmao why is Ringside slow" or my favorite "we've already seen this"/"Elite 91 is old news/such-and-such store is already shipping this" starts to run rampant and even though it isn't at all a reflection of our shipping practices and quality for anyone who orders from RSC regularly (these sets won't hit retail stores for who knows how long) the way people like to discuss it for whatever reason is with this weird need to make it seem like we aren't doing a good job or shipping fast enough. Why this makes people feel good or get a kick out of themselves I won't ever understand but I can only assume it sometimes comes from young kids thinking they're funny and then in turn adults who like to act like young kids. It is what it is but unfortunately it makes some customers outside the realm of our collector community think what they're saying is actually the case when it isn't. A small group of influencers got their sets to avoid any confusion as to where the sets came from. Some of this stuff really moves at the speed of light and we want to make sure it's clear to everyone Ringside is the best place to get figures from. That's about the size of it.

Hopefully they start shipping yours soon. That isn't what you gotta be. There are lots of orders, aside from these as well. Orders take time to be packed. I assure you they are getting to them.

I finally caught up and watched all the sequels. The older sequels are ok but they're kind of boring for me personally. Some of those memorable action sequences are for sure pretty cool but I'm not as engaged by the universe they were trying to build and especially in Reloaded some of the stuff gets really over the top.
I thought Resurrections was good and found a pretty unique, all inclusive (reboot, remake, sequel, however you want to look at it) perspective and I don't understand the hate and lackluster response at all. Definitely worth the watch.

Holy sh*t I had no idea Tokka and Rahzar were in the cartoon.
Cool to see that the license is going well and you guys are all spot on about what is and isn't a shelf warmer. I'd say if they can do the rockstar Turtles they can definitely do Turtles III.
I'm checked out on these, though. For me the first movie is still the best look/design for everything so I am stopping at the four turtles, Shredder and Splinter. I had some Foot Soldiers for a while but got 'too much' anxiety so I never opened them.
Everything looks really awesome either way. The only thing I would jump on after this is newer versions of the first movie characters if they're made with more articulation and maintaining most of the detail. These are still awesome figures but they're not very playable. Not expecting it though.

Finally watched the last episode and it was a blast. Kind of what I wanted all season. Great schlocky tv. I could have definitely watched like 3 or 4 less episodes haha but it is what it is.
Now that the new cast has been introduced and established with a back story maybe we can have some forward movement that involves all the characters. Exciting!

I went in on one Hasbro pack. I wanted two but I couldn't pull the trigger on it, just seemed excessive. I have a prop pack that I have done a lot of work myself on but that I used from a previously made base. It needs repairs and is constantly falling apart. Looking to have that one fixed by someone with a way bigger toolshed than mine and will have this on because it's tough to look away from a proton pack for roughly 600 bucks. I'm sure it will look more like a toy than a prop but it's all good. Still pretty cool! The stand is awesome, too. Hope they sell those separately...my prop pack is always just cold on the ground.

The unboxing is never a good measurement of in stock items, just fyi. There are some shipping delays for this one but we're still expecting early December. Hang tight. y’all just get one set to unbox or do you hold until you have most of it to start shipping? It varies dependent upon the set / shipment. No two are alike in most cases.

Not sure on the confusion. Generally threads get updated over time when new news shows up and titles are changed. Thanks for the feedback either way. The video is live at 2.

Also a reminder Jack Specific asked us directly not to bring the politics of this figure back up here and I'm just saying this is a gentle reminder to anyone in this thread. Happy to keep it open so people can understand that it's not coming out, but please respect his wishes.

To be fair, whether the issue of the day is RVD's outfit being pulled, Bray Wyatt still getting a figure released, or Kane's arm needing a replacement (etc. etc.) no response is always worse than just acknowledging the issue and saying something. I don't think anyone expects RSC to close up shop overnight and leave the country with their pockets full of chase-RVD money that they've taken from the unsuspecting public. It's the 'ignore it and say nothing' response that riles people up.
To be fair in return, RSC is a business with a ton of things going on at the moment that only people involved in our business really do, or need to, know about to the fullest extent, aside from figure release or quality issues that frankly are more important. The Kane arm, Elite 92, even this RVD...at the end of the day, we still want to sell all of these in a way that people are satisfied with. I understand what happened with the RVD but if it were completely up to me, Tom, it would still be sold. Not my call. To add clarity for you and everyone else looking at it this way, sometimes this is something we have been asked not to discuss until a final word or decision from the manufacturer is directly given to us and in all three examples, that's what we've done. It's clear that with time these questions eventually get answered. I think people just need to wait it out and in our current society that is just hard for a lot of people. The angry speculation and things like people being "100% certain" that Elite 92 is canceled post after post after post while waiting for some kind of response also doesn't help. I have tried to alleviate this a bit by giving some 'wink wink, nod nod' responses on certain things (which I would argue definitely counts as something), even going as far as to answer about the RVD directly on one of the previous threads in depth which I'm regretting doing every day, but I don't think us making any post that is going to be filled with a bunch of 'screw you Ringside' and 'eff you Mattel' responses even warrants us making an announcement in most cases. Unfortunately that's how it is at the moment and the amount of comments, discussions, etc. of people portraying themselves as seriously angry yet having only partial information or little clarity as to what's actually happening or even being discussed just isn't worth it. We as a company don't want to be associated with it, I don't want to come on WFigs which is a place that's meant to be enjoyed and see it, we don't need people who aren't complaining to see it and think something bad is happening or that we are screwing people, and I as a person don't have time to calm 100 different angry responses that would still come even if we were to make an announcement. I understand people want answers, but sometimes you just have to wait.

yea it’s understandable just saying it tho Idk what say you have but maybe a replacement with standard RVD and a $10 refund would be something I was interested in so it can be one order and one shipping charge Will we be notified via email? Cause the refund/charge will likely be overlooked by a lot of people myself included. Thanks 👍 I ordered mine with Hogan - will my whole order be cancelled, or just the RVD? Really these are customer service issues which admittedly I don't want to give too deep of an answer on because I'm simply not involved in that department even though I used to be a decade ago. My guess is that you will either be notified you're being refunded or in JP's case you'll get the figure you ordered and a slip letting you know your figure was refunded and the day it happened. If you haven't gotten an email yet you just have to wait, that's all. If it still doesn't show up after a significant amount of time, reach out to customer service to get a confirmation on exactly what happened. I only jumped in to pour some cold water on the idea that we wouldn't be responding or something as sometimes when stuff pops up here it gets run into the ground like there's a big conspiracy and people won't get their money back. In general WFigs is not the place for customer service issues. We have email and phone avenues you can reach out to in getting updates on your order or customizing what you'd like to do with your refunds at any time during business hours. Thanks

I don't know if refunds have begun (if not they likely will soon) but I can confirm this is no longer part of the lineup and if anything changes, it'll be made clear. There won't be any sort 'official announcement' with this, one way or the other. pain. Haven’t gotten any email, refund or any word besides yours that are close to official Sorry to hear about your pain. This figure was pulled right before the Thanksgiving holiday which is an off day of varying degrees for different folks and at the start of a very busy holiday season so the customer service department has to, among other customer service things, catch up on getting refunds and communications out to folks, individually. When those do happen, expect the refund within 7-10 business days. It's coming.

11, 15 and 16 is the starter kit for a sick figure roster. Somewhere between those three for me.
