Have you guys ever discussed doing something like Club Eternia but with the WWE property? I totally get why you guys do one big crowd funded project a year, but I'm sure you guys realize that isn't going to be something you guys can keep trying to outdo yourselves on. Perhaps the idea of 6-8 Ultimates a year, funded at the start of the year, of Superstars we normally wouldn't be able to get at retail or that would fit into lines like the Colosseum Collection.

To put a bit more detail into asking about the pricing of the crowd funder for UK buyers.
The price for within the USA is $400 which converts to £325
The price for UK is £470 which converts to $580
I get that import fees are included but that is 20% of the price. I.e £65
So with that noted, should the price not be £390?
Ever since Creations integrated imports into the price it has all gone pear shaped for international buyers.

To piggy back off this, the retro sets don’t hit the threshold (item value in £) in the U.K. for paying additional import fees, so the increase in price at Mattel Creations for these sets, if it is allegedly due to including those costs aren’t correct and we’re being over charged for no reason. Could this be looked at too? I know from previous posts and replies, Steve, that you are making a conscious effort to get more stock availability to customers in the U.K. through retail partners and we really appreciate that but it’s not yet materialised and I know you know we have a tough and expensive time on the secondary markets or paying huge shipping costs to keep supporting the lines and keep up the hobby/collections, so it feels an extra kick in the preverbal ‘if’ this crowdfund and the likes of the retros coming from Mattel directly is taking further advantage of us, even if it’s unintentional. |

So does this mean the only way we’ll get a UE Big Poppa Pump is with this set like Doink and Diesel from last years? or will there be more just not in this attire? And speaking of this one’s attire. Is that how he’s going to be with a painted on singlet on a singlet-less body or will the final product have a molded singlet torso? Thanks

Hogan is from the first episode of Nitro and will come with 2 shirts, correct? On that episode he wore a Pastamania shirt and his Hulkster shirt later on. Will one of the two shirts be Pastamania?

Steve, if you were painting your house, do you prefer a white/grey modern kind of colour scheme, or would you be more inclined to use pastels and colours around the place a bit more?

Hey Steve ,
Do you know if Mattel creations takes the money right away from your card or do they place a hold on it until the product is ready to ship? I’m curious as this will be my first time placing an order on Mattel creations

Steve,
I am very excited about the WCW entrance and will get one tomorrow. I was wondering if it is possible to add any other items to the campaign?
If so, I think a WCW announcer's table with Eric Bischoff would really knock it out of the park. Good luck and thanks for providing the opportunity.

We’re fulfilling a long time community request with this one and giving you a shirt without velcro down the front along with a rippable version. We sadly can’t do the Pastamania shirt at this time. We did look into it though. The early sample of the shirt will debut Thursday at the Superstore. |

It’s loaded and we already put everything we possibly could into it from a cost perspective. |

I’m curious as this will be my first time placing an order on Mattel creations I believe they place a hold on your card when you order and actually charge when the item moves forward at the end of the campaign in May. |

Piggybacking on this Steve, since it’ll be displayed Thursday is there going to be a chance that viewers can back then and there? Like a QR code or team Members helping push for people To back to project? Thanks again Steve. |

It’s loaded and we already put everything we possibly could into it from a cost perspective. What if it gets close to 11K after a couple weeks? Could more tiers be added then? Like another figure at 13K? Maybe even something simple like elite Bobby Heenan and/or Mean Gene? |

Singlet cut has been modified from what you’re seeing in these early virtual models to be rounder like his real singlet vs the “V” shape. These attires as Ultimates will be exclusive to this set. |

Action Figure Attack Hey Steve, really happy to hear that Scott's torso will be modified. Do you know or can you make a suggestion for his biker trunks to be molded on? The painted on biker trunks we keep getting doesn't look good great. I loved molded detail, even if it's just raised a little. Also, any way he could use the Austin boot mold? What singlet is this Scott Steiner based on? I know it's from '98. Thank you

Hey Steve, I know that maybe you are not the right person for this question..but..can we talk about the price of the set for European and uk customers? 535 + 10 or 20 euros? Really?
400$ are 370 Euros, and Mattel charges over 40% Vat for customs. Why? You are killing the success of the project for this no sense price.
