I’m not on “X”/ Twitter. This is the closest I get to “social media.” So any further updates on this set/line would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, all!

Most likely the shipment is delayed/not in stock yet.
Seems like they want retros/CC in stock to start shipping right away/soon after it goes up.
I just hope they still release the next set as scheduled and don't push that back to time/space them out.

Series 3 is Piper/Steele
Series 4 is Hart Foundation
Any word on Series 5 or is 4 the most recent reveal?

I assume they will keep the same schedule unless they add more waves. If it stays the same, Series 5 will hit around Sep/Oct24 and Series 6 will hit around Feb/Mar25 so doesn't make sense to announce them earlier. |

Was anyone able to see Steve’s response on the Q&A about the Piper/Steele CC set? It shows as “image not found” for me. Thanks.
Also, I just finished the A&E Ultimate Warrior biography on YouTube. And just like the JYD episode, now I’m really wanting him in this line even more. He could pair nicely with Honky Tonk Man. Or, if they are needing it to be both heavy hitters at this point, I’d even accept Andre (black strap) as his counterpart- even if it’s essentially a rerelease of the recent Andre Ultimate in the LJN homage packaging. Keep ‘em coming!

I was wondering the same thing about the Coliseum Collection set, I see the "image not found" message as well...Just tried checking his Instagram but didn't see anything...Hope they go up in the next week or two... |

Today was the day,according to my calendar, for Piper,Steele. Any update on when? I could also see it just pop up without any notice....OR never, ever go on sale.

Mattel is limited to what they can make and the ones they can make they can’t figure out how to do these figures alongside of the contracts before they run out. |

Do you know something we don’t about Piper and/or Steele, similar to the Savage situation? Or just hypothesizing? Not being critical, I’m legitimately wondering myself. |

Do you know something we don’t about Piper and/or Steele, similar to the Savage situation? Or just hypothesizing? Not being critical, I’m legitimately wondering myself. I'm not saying that this isn't possible, but if they announced the sale date only a few weeks ago, you'd have to think that someone would know that the expiration was looming, and then just expedite the on-sale date so that they could actually sell through a good chunk of the stock before it expired. It would be pretty dumb on the part of Mattel to announce an on sale date only to later realize that someone is no longer under contract. WHOOPSIE! The difference between these and Savage is that historically these have shipped pretty quickly after the on sale date whereas Savage was presumably still several months from distribution. I could very much be wrong, but I also can't imagine that they'd be dumb enough to post an on sale date such a short time in advance if the possibility were even there that this might not be releasable. |

I REALLY hope you’re right! I can tell you that I’m not selling my Piper hof or Steele legends figs until I have these potential new ones in-hand! |

Interestingly, perhaps because of this situation, the Mattel Creations page “Launch Calendar” is either now hidden or entirely gone (as far as I can tell). Though maybe that’s just them loading a new one for October? I honestly never really monitored it until this recent issue.

With the cancellations of Jeff Jarrett, Macho, Sting and others. The panic over possibly not getting iconic Rick Steiner figs, it’s only normal for Mattel collectors to get nervous when something like this happens.
I really hope it was just something minor and we have these in hand soon.
