I'd love to see a list of all the elites/UEs that fit in to this arena. I wonder how big it would be.

Well it’s a forum, aka a discussion area, so I can discuss the New Gen Arena in this thread so long as I’m not violating any TOS. And for the record, I followed this thread when I was just a viewer and not a member and there were plenty of people against the campaign who were constantly repeating the same points over and over about why it wasn’t worth 250, and conversely there were a bunch of people who were repeating the same points over and over why it was worth 250. And if memory serves, one of those groups tried to have the other policed. Didn’t end well. As far as today goes, price got brought up again and I made a new point about how people who don’t want some figures in the set will probably be the only ones who get something out of selling. You can always just block my posts you know? Already have bud. For those go bought multiple sets - are you displaying only one set? One set MOC and the other loose? I’ve got 4 and will open one and display one set MOC. The other two stored away. I only bought 2, one to open and one to store. I'm mainly a MOC collector but New Gen stuff is a special case where I collect loose. Honestly it's so tempting just to keep the second for my self anyway but I only would want the ring and the Diesel to get signed. I don't need duplicates of Doink, Macho or the entrance way.

*Narrator Voice* He hasn't. Selectively editing my post and attempting a clever quip. Try harder dude. Also, this is like your third time trying to mock me. Seems like you’re pretty offended. I guess you’re really banking on that thousand dollar sale lol. You’ll get it man! Tons of wrestling fans out there who missed the crowdund, but are totally ready to drop a G on this set for sure. 300 dollarssss richer amirite?? You've mentioned that before, but a free $300-$400 - for very little effort/work - is nothing to be sneezed at(!). As I said, most people will probably be putting it right back into their hobby - and you can get a lot of Elite and/or Ultimate Edition figures for that amount.

Well this thread went from anticipation to devaluing the product. Only took about 8 or so months.

I can only give my perspective on this, so I will. I bought 2 sets fully anticipating selling 1 off. Did I do it to turn a massive profit? No, I did it to contribute and get the numbers up on a crowdfunded project I wanted (before anyone says 'but it's only 1 extra purchase!' I hope you don't have that same perspective on voting). Will I sell the pieces at what the market is going at? Sure, I'd be foolish not to. But the money is long gone from my account so getting anything back, even if it's only a little more than what I paid, will be nice. Not sure why people are going back and forth about it.

Waiting for the thread to flip from devaluing the product. Too complaining about missing this set and the after market prices. Still happy this set is coming. And hoping for a cool new crowd funding project this year.

I tested my own mettle this year in terms of how high I'd be willing to go for a short run figure. It wasn't even of a talent I'm a particularly huge fan of, but it was something I wanted, and ultimately, I capped out at under $80.
On the flip side, I'm a huge Macho Man fan. I have an entire shelf dedicated to just Macho Man figures. I'm planning on buying two of the bone crunching style ones scheduled to come out later this year, but this Ultimate? I dunno. It was what brought me the closest to pulling the trigger on a set, but in the end, it felt like a lot of work to try and move everything else for a figure I honestly couldn't see myself willing to pay more than $75 for, tops. I know that part of that is personal interest - I've less than no interest in commemorating a doodoo match with Crush and his run on commentary with one foot out the door - but in the grand scheme of Savages out there that I don't have yet, there are ones already out there I'd strongly consider paying more for than this Ultimate.

I’ll be happy if I could grab a RW&B ring apron off Mercari.
Otherwise, I’m just interested to see how the ring itself turns out.

As I said, most people will probably be putting it right back into their hobby - and you can get a lot of Elite and/or Ultimate Edition figures for that amount. I just don’t see it selling for that much money. If there was like 10 of them in the world maybe. But again wrestling collectors are not known for spending big dollar amounts very often. And there’s no record of anyone paying 1000+ for a wrestling collectible. I mean maybe that rare Hasbro, but again we’re probably talking like less than five instances ever. There’s going to be tons of these available on eBay and also broken up into parts. Are there really that many wrestling collectors that dedicated to drop that kind of money on a set that they somehow missed out on last year? I just can’t imagine there’s that many people that love wrestling figures that much to pay that kind of money and somehow didn’t know about the crowd fund. Yeah I mean maybe there were some people who were broke or they were late into collecting. But in the first case they go from broke to being able to dispose 1000 off the bat for a toy? And in the case of new collectors… II see new collectors on here all the time lamenting how they missed out on previous elite series, legends, etc and they don’t want to pay eBay prices. ...all that is besides the point - you've given the impression a few times that making $300-$400 on the set is no big deal ("But even if we took inflation out… You made 370 bucks. Congratulations!", "Wow. Sweet deal", "300 dollarssss richer amirite??"). It just seems a very condescending/negative way of looking at things... I think most people would be very pleased with $300-$400 for basically just buying/storing/listing something. 🤷♂️

I’m once again putting out there that I will need Doink if any of you will be unloading one and don’t want to go with secondary market fees.

I FOMO ordered this thing, big time. I got caught up in the Macho Man hype. Now that the dust has settled a bit, I have realized that there is absolutely no place for me to display a ring. I’ll probably end up selling the thing. I don’t feel too bad about it. At the end of the day, it’s one more set that wouldn’t have been produced.

real winners are people who just wanted the ring and entrance they might even be able to get Macho for free by selling just the other two and they don’t have to pay shipping for the ring/entrance The ring and entrance look great to me but I have no room and it’s not an era I care about either way I’m hyped for y’all with whatever you do. If you’re reselling it, hopefully you hit big. If you’re keeping it, hopefully it ships soon Wow! breath of fresh air! Its nice to see someone happy for people doing whatever they want to do with their money! You want to open and enjoy this awesome set, great! Want to sell it and make a buck, Great too!

It has been almost 2 months since the reveal at axxess. I think that at least we should have seen some update by now. Maybe loose or in box pics idk.
