For the people having a panic that the next crowdfunded project is going to fail, this first one was mostly a ring. Do you know how many people were in the comments going, “I’d like this, but I don’t need a ring. I already have a ring and/or don’t have room for it.” Well, the next project isn’t going to have a ring. Mattel said time and time again they weren’t going to crowd fund a ring. They were going to do something else. So quit setting your hair on fire until they announce the next project. Odds are it could be even more space consuming. That WCW Arena/RAW Arena, those things were way way bigger than a ring and would cost way more. Think a $250 ring was a tough sell because of cost and space? How's a $400 entrance going to go down? Thank you! No way in hell that Nitro or Attitude raw set goes for $250, and the raw set would be the more expensive IMO. $350 minimum surely without figures

There is only 8,000 of these - not sure why it's taking so long for some people to get them.

No way in hell that Nitro or Attitude raw set goes for $250, and the raw set would be the more expensive IMO. $350 minimum surely without figures It all comes down to preference. People will pay for something they want. However, I do think the appeal for the New Generation arena - even if you aren't necessarily a huge fan of that era - had a lot to do with how much stuff was included for $250. You got three amazing figures, an LED entranceway, the most authentic ring ever and even a complete commentator's table. I agree that quantity doesn't always equate to quality, but for this particular set it just felt like you got so much across the board. As amazing as a Nitro/Raw/SmackDown! stage would be, the sheer scale of those concepts will most definitely bump the price up and likely limit the inclusion of any "extras" to compliment the set. Basically, you will be paying (x) amount of dollars just for the stage alone. Some will be fine with that, but perceived value is a funny thing.

The previous project had all new tooling for literally everything except the legs, arms, ring steps, and maybe the posts (although they look to be a bit higher than the ESR posts). So almost the entire thing is brand new tooling and a ton of soft goods from the entrance curtain to the turnbuckle pads to the ring mat. A Raw entrance stage will at most have a giant black curtain, some black curtains around the stage, maybe some smaller curtains at the entryway, and a couple of canvas Raw is War logos. And keep in mind, what we saw previously would not be what Mattel makes. That was not a toy, it was a custom-made diorama. Mattel would likely keep new tooling down to a minimum with a Raw is War stage.

People have turned this thread into arguing over the next crowdfund. Please take that to one of the actual next crowdfund idea threads.

My ring has gone from Belgium and is now in Gambia for some reason.
I'm in the UK, I've no idea why it's now in West Africa.

Mine last updated on 31/8 to say it was leaving Belgium, so I'm *hoping* I'll see it by the end of the week.

No update on mine since 26th August when it looks like it left Belgium to come to the UK. I used Parcelsapp dot com to track mine What did you use as your tracking number? Nothing seems to recognise the Mattel order number I have? (Beginning with CHP?)

Because that's not the tracking number, for some quite stupid reason Mattel Creations don't put the tracking number in the email when they email you to say its been shipped, you have to contact them via their contact information to ask for it, all in all bloody stupid in my opinion.

My email had a tracking number in it. But I’m in America.
