I don't usually do these kinds of threads but recently it's been a harder-than-usual decision to make so I'm hoping to be enlightened:
I don't pic-fed or play with my figs, I pose them for pics so essentially the WWE RAW stage is going to be a glorified backdrop. But I love the pics some of you take with figures on the stage but I'm hesitant spending $90+ for a backdrop. So why do you like it? Why did you buy it?
And if you think this is hard, MOTUC Castle Grayskull met the minimum pre-order today and that's a $250 ($300 shipped!) glorified backdrop if I bite!
Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide.

If you like it, buy it. It's prob one of the cooler accessories to be released.

I do the pic fed thing so I got it for that but it's fun to have for anything honestly. I think it's a nice collectors piece as well so I would recommend it.

Its a cool accessory if you plan on setting up your arena, but I don't think its worth $90. Its only plastic.

It's a great backdrop for pics and arena setups. And if you don't have the room to have it on permanent display, it disassembles very easily. Stick it back in the box and put it in a closet till you need to use it again.

Do you not get it in Canada? So it'd be $90 because of the shipping?
I have it for the sole purpose of taking photos in front it. It's the coolest wrestling related accessory I think I have ever seen or purchased. I only spent $45 plus tax or whatever on it though. Had it been double the cost I probably wouldn't have pulled the trigger on it.
Glad that Castle Grayskull got enough pre-orders. That was too high a price for me personally but it should be an amazing piece. I didn't think it was going to make it.

I for one, think the entrance stage in awesome. I would do it, especially if you have a ring. If you have a ring, then there really is no excuse not to get one, even for $100

I'd be hesitant to get it too if it were $90. However, I was able to get it at Kmart in the US for about $55 and it was worth it for that price. I don't pic-fed or play with my figs, but as a collectable backdrop with the scale ring, it's great. Also, I have an 8 year old who does get to enjoy it, so it's a win all around.
BTW, Kmart has it available on their site for $51.99. Is it $90 to ship it to Toronto?

Simply put...
It is the best WWE Figure stage ever made. Ever.
P.S. Castle Grayskull will make a nice backdrop and I am glad to be one of those who is getting one.

I'm interested in getting it too.... What sounds etc does it play? Hoping I can get it :/ It plays the theme songs of Cena, Alberto, Orton, Sheamus, and Rey. There's a second button that has an announcer announcing them. So if you push one button it sounds like Ricardo announcing Alberto, then hit the second button and it's Alberto's music. Or hit the first button again and it sounds like Justin Roberts announcing Cena. Hit the second button and Cena's music plays. When the music hits, the stage flashes lights in sync with the music. The flat part of the stage floor has a "breakaway" part to slam wrestlers through. The image of Cena that it comes with easily slides out and you can print your own background image to use for whoever you want. |

Thanks for the input guys, and yeah the $90+ is just the prices I'm seeing on eBay. jeffhardthebest gave me a head's up that it might be at Sears Canada for cheaper so I might look into that. It looks great no doubt, but to spend near $100 for it seems a bit much to me.

Just to let you know, jeffhardthebest also gave me a heads up, and it can be found on Sears.ca for a considerable amount cheaper. It's a massive stage in terms of height and it's really nice, I'm glad I finally was able to get a hold of it.

If you decide to get one and cant find it locally id be glad to pick one up for you and ship it, you can just pay me that total cost. I can't imagine it costing $40 to ship.
It would be about $56 total for the stage after tax, shipping could be in the $30 range, but I would need to get the weight.
