The Walmart that showed 28 in stock, based off the UPC, couldn't find any Sting figures. All she saw were Hogan and Razor. She said she looked in the back, but nothing? I suppose the store could have 7 unopened cases, but that seems excessive to me.

Can I ask why this being found is such a shock? Everyone didn't expect it til August. And being found first in Vegas is crazy lol But RSC first date was June or July right?

I just ordered the Defining Moments figure from Walmart.com and did free store pick up. It says it will be there Friday. I looked at the bottom of the DM boxes for Razor, Hogan, and Flair and the one the OP posted is different than all 3 of them, so I'm assuming it's Sting.
If it's not, I'll just return it. We'll see what happens.

Well, if it is true, RSC has been shafted again. I know we have short term memory problems, but retail has had E34, E35, Razor Ramon, and possibly Battel Pack and Basics (not sure about those last two) before RSC. Exactly why do they charge more per a figure? They say they get over nighted, but do they really???

And why is it strange that huge retail stores get things earlier than a small niche online retailer?

Don't think Walmart and target had release dates previously. So that's why there is shock, no one expected it to hit this early

Exactly why do they charge more per a figure? They say they get over nighted, but do they really??? I had my Razor from RSC at least a month before they were at retail. And E35 (not sure about e34 because I wasn't interested in that set) came out at mass retail after RSC first assortment. Also when RSC said their initial Sting order was delayed I said in the past if a mass retailer decides they want to up their order Mattel will cancel or delay online retailers orders. Mattel did it with A couple of their DCUC waves where CSC and BB both had orders cut or delayed because WalMart decided they wanted to increase their orders. Here was the post I made when someone said a small online retailer they deal with said their order was canceled... If this small retailers are having orders canceled it could be because the larger retail chains upped their orders. This has happened in the past with Mattel's DCUC line. Online stores had their orders canceled because the major retailers decided to add to their orders. Of course until RSC or MDT come here and say it is canceled it is still coming out around SummerSlam which was what Bill had said way back when it was first shown.

Hey guys, new to the site and sort of new to collecting. I was at Walmart and found Defining Moments Sting here in Las Vegas! I'm not sure how to add a photo as I'm typing this on my phone but needless to say I was surprised I don't think I was one who didn't believe you, but I did post here. I just wanted to apologize for contributing negatively to this thread. Great find. 10000% jealous.
