I do not necessarily disagree. I just think that's how a lot of consumers are approaching it, and I think that's understandable. But it's a catch 22. They (we?) won't pony up unless the figures are guaranteed, but the figures won't be guaranteed if we don't pony up. I think if this thing had caught on immediately, and hit 7000 or so right away, people would start dogpiling on to get that complete package. Maybe the minimum number of backers should have been higher so more figures could be guaranteed inclusions, idk. I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this (sorry, I have not read all 148 prior pages), but I think a lot more people would be all-in if we knew we'd get all the figures rather than hitting milestones. The fact that you might cough up $400 for just the stage and Mysterio, no figures beyond that, probably makes a lot of potential buyers unwilling to commit. I love the idea, and wish I had somewhere to display something like this. But now that Hogan's out, this thing is gonna have a tough time. Again, this is just not how a crowdfund/ Kickstarter type campaign works. More $$$ = More room in the budget = More figures, accessories, etc. You’re not going to get everything for the minimum amount of backers. Sorry.

Thanks for all the answers and tolerating some of the crazier question here! Maybe I missed it, but what is this WrestleMania Superstore? Is that an actual thing or just something you coined? Is it online? At WrestleMania? A literal store to buy things? Or simply product reveals? Hi Steve, Is it Thursday the Axxess reveals Will the missing Edge tattoo on the elite 102 proto been added to the final version it’s on his other figures The WrestleMania Superstore opens Thursday 3/30 at 12 PM PST. We’ll be setup and ready to go for opening. I think that tattoo may need to be omitted. Can’t recall exactly but if we were allowed to do it, it’d probably be present.

If they can make attires based off Marvel characters without getting sued, I'm sure they could make a "Quebecer Jacques Rougeau" in red & black.

I'd be down with it. In particular I'd be interested in lines based on some of the really old games where you could include the entire roster: NES WrestleMania (Hogan, Savage, Andre, DiBiase, Honky, Bam Bam) or WrestleMania Challenge (Hogan, Warrior, Savage, Andre, Boss Man, Rude, Beefcake, Hacksaw), for example. Or the Superstars or WrestleFest arcade games. Just no weird pixel deco please.

I've read this far and I don't think anyone has said Naked Mideon, so I assume everyone wants a Naked Mideon.

Wait, both heads aren't included with Mr. America? Big change for chase variants then. Think I may pass for now.

No, but I think about doing it sometimes. I think I'd go for WWF Wrestlemania Challenge (NES) with Hogan, Warrior, Andre, Savage, Beefcake, Rude, Hacksaw, and Big Boss Man. I'd still need a figure of "myself," however!

I placed separate orders, but my second Shamrock was instantly cancelled, so IDK? Shawn and Shamrock GET! Hmm, just one per customer though, it seems. Odd that's not listed on the product page. Gonna make getting that Shamrock variant tough! Only 1? Weird it let me buy 2 of shamrock and Warrior both.

Man, I placed my order within 1 minute of it going live, and no sign of them shipping. Did everyone getting them already order within the first 5 seconds or something?

I don't even like Goldberg, but the FOMO got me. Not shipping until the end of the month, so maybe I'll cancel. (Not likely tho, if I'm being honest.)

I am not trying to get one, but the site seems to have imploded already.

I've said it before, but Sheamus as Clawful (lobster-head!) is the biggest missed opportunity.
