Mattel sort of shot themselves in the foot by making Macho an "early bird" exclusive. The problem now is that if this doesnt break 5000 by Friday its pretty much dead in the water. No one is going to buy in after that point knowing they won't get Savage while others did. I can see them saying on Friday something like due to the "demand", the offer of Macho has been extended until the target date...

Anyone think this will be worth it in the long run? I might chip in for the cause and just resell it later as I have no interest besides maybe the ring And Macho. Only issue it has blue posts if I try and make it into a Nitro ring. That and I might have to sell my esr.

Steve said in video with NotSam he used some of the marketing money to invest in for Macho Man, instead of using that money for social media ads, thus not sure how much money would be left to pull another gift. I hope I'm wrong though about what happens after Macho Madness Early Bird special ends. Well first of all, you can do away with if it reaches 7k or 9k and move that all to 3k and if it hits 5k we get Doink.

Its plastic so a little spray paint will go along way. I honestly dont think its a great investment if you plan on trying to flip the thing as a set. I cant see someone dropping say $500 for it next year but you can absolutely part it out and double or triple your money

I am have very unhappy with the way Mattel and target have poorly distributed there exclusives. So buying one of these sets is like me saying, yes Mattel and target please continue what your doing because it's perfect fine when it is not. bruh, my friend...Ive seen & purchased only 1 store exclusive from Target (Liv) and had to rely on Ebay/Scalpers or PJ to get any others and Im backing 2 rings. I understand your frustration but to quote the late great Bobby Heenan, you're comparing ice cream to horse manure. Basically, Mattel is letting Target put horse manure into their ice cream. I think it's a valid complaint.

What does one have to do with the other? The way that Target handles their preorders, and website in general, has absolutely nothing to do with this crowdfunding project. I am have very unhappy with the way Mattel and target have poorly distributed there exclusives. So buying one of these sets is like me saying, yes Mattel and target please continue what your doing because it's perfect fine when it is not. Still has nothing to do with this crowdfunding project. Target has absolutely nothing to do with this.

I could also use acrylic paint too. The only problem is now finding a skirt that fits this ring because it’s smaller than the ESR right? Also, where do we get red turnbuckles from?

He made my custom New Generation ringskirts and banners. He makes turnbuckles as well. Great Resource

I think if this crosses 5k then tons more people would immediately jump on. It’s the “this may not happen” element that’s putting people off.

I would imagine Doink at the 7k threshold was due to profitability if enough people backed it. Definitely need something to push the campaign towards the 5k with a large volume of backers.

I am have very unhappy with the way Mattel and target have poorly distributed there exclusives. So buying one of these sets is like me saying, yes Mattel and target please continue what your doing because it's perfect fine when it is not. I agree with you. What I (and many others ) had to endure a couple weeks ago totally soured this hobby for me. I literally refreshed for 3 days straight between Target and Amazon and continued over next 10 days or so. Mattel doesn't seem to mind that true collectors have to turn to ebay and dirty scalpers as the prime source for most of these exclusives yet they send veiled threats about this crowdfunding project and what will happen if it doesn't hit 5K. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I've even started to part with some figs and will probably continue to do so. So I totally agree with your take..
