Unsurprisingly, Sting is the figure everyone wants -- but in short supply. It's a shame to see all those figures sitting and no Stings. Maybe they should have done a series of 5, and double packed Sting.
I guess they thought the Walmart one would help (though it's not nearly as good a figure, because it has no coat)?

I don’t think the Walmart is as good of a figure because of the half Darby face paint. In all honesty I wish the Walmart figure was the chase. Hell they could have even given it the jacket. And then just made the chase the Walmart figure even without the jacket. I would have been totally happy with that. The only one I am missing is the chase (which I want) and if it was the other way I would have no problem in not owning the 1/2 Sting & 1/2 Darby face paint.

I'm not sure how it's in short supply. It's equal to everything else.. well technically there's more as the cases with a chase Sting also have the standard Sting with it. High demand yes, but not short supply.

High demand yes, but not short supply. I didn't mean literally -- I meant short supply because the demand is huge, and it's produced in the same number as the other figures. Sorry if that wasn't clear

Honestly, I'm pretty sure they could have pulled the Mattel legends ish and shipped cases of nothing but Sting to stores and it would still be hard to find. That's the problem with a 'Luminary" like that. It's his first figure in the wave plus its friggin Sting. The figure is gorgeous, even the regular version, and the demand is through the roof.

I have found every figure from this wave multiple times except for Sting. I work an 8-5 job so I’m not able to get out early in the morning and have responsibilities after work, so it’s frustrating seeing people find these in my area throughout the day (grabbing multiples at times), yet I can’t find one friggin Sting.
This figure should have been packed 2 per case at the minimum.

I saw a Sting, Santana, and MJF the other day in my travels, which was sort of a weird packout given that for this set, I've usually found some combination of just MJF and the EYFBO guys, with the occasional Wardlow or Tay here and there.

Personally I have only seen a lone case of these with Sting. And my wife found one of everyone except Sting. Other than that the only AEW figures I see are SCU.

The figures that are sitting near me are the women. My Walmart has had about six Riho's on the shelf since August at least.

for Unmatched 2, I saw an MJF once then the next day a whole set (minus Sting) and the extra MJF from the day prior
usually what sits beyond 2 days near me is the women as a whole (Nyla, Riho, Shida, and not so much DMD but still more than say Darby or Kenny in the same set) and usual Men figures (Series 6 MJF, Hager, Series 5 SCU)

I think Jazzwares really missed a chance to sell a lot of product. Oh well.
I actually almost bought this -- until I saw the giant AEW logo on his T-shirt, and decided it wasn't for me...

I'm the opposite, the Darby facepaint is mostly why I wanted one. The other factor was feeling like not having a Sting to go with Darby was a hole in my collection, otherwise I have no need for Sting. I also like that it doesn't have the jacket, for whatever reason.

The most annoying part is that Walmart chooses to ship these figures all over the country to their stores before the fulfill the preorders. I had this thing preordered on day one back in July. Now I've gotten my third email delaying the shipping date. I kind of hunted for this in stores so I could just cancel my preorder but had no luck.

Today I was at a Target that had three each of MJF and Santana. Two Wardlow and six Ortiz figures. Not a single Sting to be found.

Neither the Target brickseek or the Target app is working for Sting. Anyone else having the same issue or is it user error? The Walmart app and brickseek for Sting are working fine but the figure continues to be out of stock in my area.
