I was thinking about this once I saw the NotSam video and also saw some discussion above. Do you think we'll see accessories for this ring down the line given there will only be a max pool of say 5000 potential buyers? Do you think Mattel would take the risk? Hope so..
This is my first time looking into crowdfunding projects so just wonder if expansions based on previous projects are common in the toy industry?

I tried to order a second bam bam in the same day and it got cancelled. I have been able to order two macho man orders two different days and they went through. I guess it is checking for same day orders. 2 Thats Damn Impressive. I check at least 20 times a day and yet to even see the red add cart live Nowhere near enough, you have to refresh once per 5 seconds and on the odd chance you see 'add to cart' checkout within 10 seconds lol... Speaking from experience..

Now it says "not available for shipping." Does that mean it's gone already? No. It has been saying that for most of yesterday and today and re-appeared.

Definitely not starting an argument either but I'm just curious as to why people are so sure this will be worth double/triple once this ships? We all literally have access to this product at base price for a month. Those who want this item but do not purchase within that window, I assume it will be due to financial reasons. So how these same people would be able/want to pay double/triple the amount I do not know. Its not like a UE figure where the item sells out within minutes and there's the possibility to miss out because you weren't by a PC/store at the right time. Don't get me wrong the individual items should sell for way more than their average price in the bundle immediately.. and in the long term this will be worth a fortune but I can't see quick flips for the bundle generating 3x the price right now. By all means I do hope everyone who wants even an individual item within the bundle backs it because I don't doubt once you sell off the other bits you'll be paying pennies! Ever seen Limited Run Games? They have a month open pre order window. Everyone has access to them. The games are usually around $30. As soon as the pre order window closes that's it, and a few months later you get your game. As soon as your game arrives it's already shot up in value. Every game I've backed I've backed 2, sold the extra within a few days of listing, and made my money back on both plus a little extra. NECA Turtles Tokka/Rahzar, etc has been the same deal. Wrestling figures are hot. Ultimates of guys like Bret, Shawn, Rock and Warrior are already fetching hundreds of dollars and they were far less limited than this Macho/Diesel/Doink will be. This will absolutely triple, quadruple in value on day one. Look at RSC exclusives. Every single time they sell out on RSC the price on the after market rockets higher and higher. This will be the same. No ifs ands or buts. I'm not going to go and back 5 of these, but I am absolutely backing 2, maybe 3 (as I might want a 2nd Macho). This is a great investment and I will be that much more satisfied knowing that I got all this exclusive stuff for free and made money doing it. Oh I totally agree these are going to sky rocket in value over time. My question was moreso in regards to them doubling etc shortly after its shipped. Why I feel it differs from RSC exclusives etc is that a lot of people have that mindset of "it will still be available next week" then completely miss the boat lol. With this window there's no chance of that happening. Interesting point about Limited Run Games though I'd never heard of them before. I do hope it will be a similar situation with this and we can get this over the line!

Plus I don't see why retail would purchase something on the premises it will sell, when this is already freely available to consumers and they're not purchasing.

So these are showing up on the app rather than website. Sucks being a UK resident atm lol i've ordered all of mine from the site on a desktop. i've scored ddp, hall and now mach so far by checking in at random times. Cheers for the tip, I have them all favourited and a tab open on my laptop but predominantly search on my phone which has slow reload times. Will try desktop more!

For the first time since I've started collecting I've missed a pre-announced pre-order slot by about 40 mins because I simply forgot and of course it would go through without a hiccup lol! Can't be mad though, glad it went smoothly and hope its a sign of things to come!

You have no idea why people have decided not to back it. There could be a 1000 different variables. It doesn't automatically equate to "Nobody wants a ring!" sounds like we need a poll 100% agree with this! Just to see the amount of people on these boards who have the intention of purchasing but maybe not until the latter stages. Could help some make the commitment..

So am I right in thinking it’s $250 and if it reaches more than 5k the additional tiers are activated but the vid only stays at $250? Yes. So for example: At 6K backers they’ll include Doink. At 7500 the Monday Night Raw skirt, rope, and turnbuckles. At 10K the RAW entrance. This is the part I'm interested in.. So does the cost per person then increase once you get to the 'raw entrance' tier?

Hi guys, are we still having luck with not being hit by customs fees when ordering from Ringside? I have ordered a few things off ringside this year and not once have I been hit with custom fees Amazing - what sort of size orders were they? I'm thinking of doing a bulk order but not sure if I should ship direct to the UK..

That's very interesting - does anyone know whether ringside show a value for VAT on their customs declaration forms? This would explain why they're able to evade the customs fee.

Anything from Target is guaranteed to be beaten up in my experience.

I'm posting two packages with Bulldog figures to the US early next week, with a third package to Canada on hold for a little bit with a couple of other figures from the Royal Rumble set - I've been quoting about £17 tracked delivery minimum based on the guidance on the Post Office website (some UK posters might be able to comment on if that sounds about right?), which makes it around $51 US for one figure. Adding a few more figures shouldn't add too much more to the shipping across the Atlantic so might be worth considering combining with a friend or grabbing an extra to customise into Dynamite or something to make the shipping expense more palatable. I've also pre-ordered a Kama who is destined for the US when he arrives with me. Honestly I think it's good for the UK supporters to help supply you guys in North America with Smyths products - we're always in danger of them dropping lines (like they did with the Retros and the Ultimate Editions) or figures from individual waves if they don't sell well enough, so if we can get a few more moving across to you guys in the US then it's a little bit likelier that Smyths will continue buying-in these extra figures, so can be win-win. Yeah £17 sounds about right for a small parcel weighing between 250g - 500g. It's usually about $50 all in to ship TO an individual figure to the USA. I'm happy to ship one over if anyone needs one.

Man. Smyths has all of the store exclusives. Are there targets in the uk? No Targets but relieved Smyths seems to finally be getting in the exclusives after years of paying scalper prices + shipping and customs

I never would have known there was hate for this line. I only seem to remember huge anticipation for waves to release.
I'm too young to have had a Hasbro collection,in fact bought my first Wrestling Figure in 2014,so this style never interested me. Saying that I feel like this line has the most anticipation prior and buzz during its short existence of any I've seen thus far. Interesting to see some of the negative responses.
