@wweretrostars: βSpoke to a collector tonight that plans on backing 1οΈβ£0οΈβ£0οΈβ£ arenas tomorrow. One. Hundred. His rationale: Macho. Man. F.O.M.O. Feels like each set will have a $200 figure - Then ring + stage + Diesel + announcers set he can burn off easily. Macho will be the most rare UE to date.β Wow. That's 25K plus tax and shipping. Let's call it 28K. i'll believe it when i see it... (unless it's RSC  ) - but I hope it's true. |

I can only afford to back one right now, but I absolutely would buy another ring off the secondary market if the price isn't outrageous. You never know when you're going to accidentally trip, fall, land on your ring, and snap a post clean off. |

and I've just ordered my 3rd. Doing my bit to help us A) get the thing in the first place and B) get us to Doink! I think if this thing hits 5,000 tomorrow, everyone who purchased one (or more) already need to purchase one more to help us get Doink.Β Some people canβt even order one so Iβm sure a lot canβt order another. |

I never heard of FOMO before this thread and while I wish Iβd never hear it again, if it gets me Diesel I can live with it.

Itβs basically the founding principal of every crypto currency pump and dump on Twitter/Instagram and every pyramid scheme. Iβm honestly surprised you havenβt heard it before. |

I think it's safe to say the base of 5,000 will make it, but Idk about Doink, really hope because that's honestly what I want most lol
Also FOMO is definitely getting me lol

1. I am glad this might make it.
2. Isn't this really out of scale? In the classic WWF video AFA posted on his Instragram, the real Diesel almost reaches the top of the entrance when walking through it.
But in the proto pictures, the Macho Man Elite doesn't even come close to the top. Same for the Kevin Nash that AFA used in his Instagram live session.

I just simply canβt afford it and it sucks. My credit cards are almost maxed and they donβt accept PayPal so I canβt use PayPal Credit. I set up a PayPal Key and was able to pay with my PayPal balance. (Though heads up, I had to call PayPal customer service to confirm to them I was making the purchase). |

I just backed thisβone to open immediately, one to keep MOC for my kids or cousins in decades to come, one to give away to one of my top nonprofit kids, and one to surprise a friend who is down on his luck right now. After all the bickering in this thread, we came together. Tonight and tomorrow will be special, enjoy this feeling.

No -- this is a different entrance. See -- it has risers on the bottom corners. The version Mattel is producing -- and the version Diesel walked through in Steve's video clip -- does not have those risers on the bottom.
It's just the entrance straight on the floor -- so this isn't a proper comparison

When I checked the number of backers just now (it's around 8:30am here) my jaw dropped. Literally dropped. I can not believe how much this has shot up over the past couple of days.
This is going to happen guys.

Here's a video of Shawn and Diesel walking through it. With his arms up, Shawn almost touches the bottom of the top piece, so they probably did make it a little big. |
