Here he is on UK soil! Thurrock Smyths got one box, refused to sell me another, despite my best efforts! Possibly the first UK retail Stinger?!? He is now on shelves at my local Smyths so the staff were giving me some BS!

Looks like you are the first indeed! Good work More to the point, they refused to sell more than one? I don't recall hearing that happening before either? Not in the UK anyway

I reckon they've balled up.. and that's the only box in the UK, hence just one for you.
Thurrocks the only store with "In Stock" on the website. Ireland always gets figs first!

Congrats on your purchase. Sucks you couldn't get the second. But at least you have one now. They reckon the others were reserved. Never heard that either, strange a Really? I'm going to complain by email. Do the same. That's BULLSH!!!!T I thought I read that UK'ers could order figures online for in store pickups. If they had 3 orders processed already then they couldn't sell him anymore.

Certain stores, certain figures. These weren't in scope. They did H and RR Def Moments pre order.

I could be mistaken but I am pretty sure in one of the Sting threads yesterday or the day before someone mentioned Smyth's(?) Stores in Ireland had them in stock.
