I think we all need to do our part to get this backed, when I mean all I’m talking about Mattel and us
What we can do? Buy Multiples if we can, it’s a great investment and is almost guaranteed to bring a profit and a for sure to always bring in what you paid for it, it’s a safe bet
What Mattel can do? fix these tiers, add Steiner to the 5k and I’ll back multiple sets right now, as I’m sure many would follow, I understand there won’t be any surprises or adds to the set that’s fine, let’s just fix these tiers and just this backed!

I honestly think Mattel might have got a tad greedy here putting Rey with the stage, ddp or Steiner would have gotten to 5k much easier, I think Mattel thought getting to 5k was going to be a breeze, but as we can see that’s not the case, it’s gonna come down to the wire if you ask me

I wish I could feel the same way about this, the best head scan ever for HBK is basic 100, and it looks like they just re did his basic 100 scan with new hair, shawn should look younger with some type of smile going on with the DM fig, he looks way too sad and looks older, kinda looks like they did the same thing with the survivor series HBK just looks like a ue HBK scan with different hair, but honestly the big question is…. Is he gonna have knee pads? I hope so, he had hearts on tights, and the Texas state on his knee pads. It'll look weird without them I think. I scared they might do what they have been doing and just paint over his knees with no knee pads, I really reeaaaallly hope that’s not the case

The new DM is hands down the best. Having seen it and the WM ones both in person, I can say it’s better. I wish I could feel the same way about this, the best head scan ever for HBK is basic 100, and it looks like they just re did his basic 100 scan with new hair, shawn should look younger with some type of smile going on with the DM fig, he looks way too sad and looks older, kinda looks like they did the same thing with the survivor series HBK just looks like a ue HBK scan with different hair, but honestly the big question is….

I don’t know why they / people thought it would move this weekend For a starts it’s literally THE biggest most expensive weekend for wrestling People who have gone to mania will have already spent a ton, have little money left one would think People who haven’t gone to mania will potentially have gone wrestle con etc There’s loads of other shows put on mania weekend People already have loads potentially in pre orders etc since so much product is constantly pushed out The whole QR code at axxess (which is not really axxess since you have to pay extra for meet n greet etc) shows they’re out of touch imo. People who have attended, likely paying accommodation, maybe still paying off mania on a credit card etc likely haven’t got $400 kicking going for something they were not expecting. They likely have a budget allowed for merch etc I somewhat agree, but… We are looking at all the negative parts about putting it up this week, the positive parts are everyone is hyped about wrestlemania! So much more attention is on wwe this week including all of its products, all the documentary’s that have been released dating back to the days of monday night wars recently They should balance each other out enough to have a steady daily backing number that’s way above what it’s at now

Can I ask a serious question?
If you haven’t backed the nitro fund yet can I know why?
Do you plan to later?
Is it too much?
Little to no interest?
Don’t like the tiers?
For me I’m not backing right now because I have little interest in the tiers and the ones I’m kinda interested in I don’t think it will meet depending on what we have seen so far, nothing to do with price ,the price is understandable if all tiers are met

First day I think it was funded by 1,000, after that it was averaging 150 people a day and getting lower and lower everyday, the new gen I think had way better numbers if what I am remembering is right, I was very optimistic about it reaching every tier with the new gen fund, I don’t see a large spike of funding in the nitro stages future unless they add or change something, I hope Mattel knows it’s the product thats not gaining interest and has nothing to do with crowd funds in general, i for one love crowd funds and will continue to back all of them and maybe even the nitro stage if I know we are gonna hit most of the tiers but very reluctant to back now if I’m only getting a Rey figure

Just under 1300 backers with 6 days to go for hogan ain’t looking good at all
I was going to back this but honestly I don’t think it will hit any tiers besides the original 5k, I ain’t paying $400 for a stage and a Rey figure, Mattel needs to do something and do it quick cause this is in real danger of not getting backed fully with all tiers and I think it’s in real danger of not getting backed at all to be honest, raw stage would have been backed at least double the amount the nitro stage did so far, didn’t care for this choice to go Wcw instead of raw if there even was a choice

Looks like we are getting another fan take over for ultimates I think? Looks like Seth and Rey, atleast from what I see in the last pic of the mankind DM

Maybe RSC ordered a bunch like hey did with the Retros? I believe they did that with the Super7 Cardona and Myers too. I feel one of the waves were preorder only and Ringside carried. So probably at a markup from Mattel but good if you missed the window. I know I ordered 2 Cody to be safe. I skipped Paul as the first Ultimate I’m not going to have but since then they did the ring with Kane that I cannot justify. Same, 2 Cody’s but missed out on Paul hoping to get him if they put him up

Guys is Cody and Logan Paul ultimates going for pre order in ringside today? If so how much? Also does anyone know if hogan in the nitro stage will be available to everyone if it reaches the target or just early backers? You’re about a year late bud Lol I know but seems like they are implying that they will be on ringside?

Imagine if this was a Raw stage: “Another Stone Cold UE figure? Lame” “Rock UE? We already have him.” “Undertaker? Why?” “Triple H? What a ripoff.” Austin was one of the worst parts choices I’ve seen in a ultimate Rock I somewhat agree we don’t need another rock but give him a nice cloth shirt and most will buy it Undertaker came with a great scan but only for display, we NEED another taker Triple h I wouldn’t mind Mattel to take another crack at it These would be much better options then a a 100th hogan and 100th warrior

This is a total let down if it’s just the Wcw stage, I mean the options for a figure from a Wcw only fund are not exciting me at all, booker T DDP and big poppa pump would be the only ones that I would buy if I seen on the shelf, they will probably give us the Steiner brothers which I don’t care about much, I’d rather have figures of them in their solo runs than Tag team, I really hope this includes the raw stage as well, if that’s the case it will be extremely expensive but I’m ok with that

That would mean that this one don’t sell well, I’ll tell you this scalpers alone will buy enough because of the success of the new gen re sell value The New Gen arena didn’t re-sell well at all. The market was flooded, as many expected. And now anyone who wanted one, paid slightly over cost for the complete set. When people were first getting these in hand people were selling them for $1,000 or slightly under, diesel and doink were bringing nearly the cost of the entire set, this went on for longer than I expected, now of course they have fallen closer to reality but that with everything, but people made a pretty penny off the new gen re sales
