Official Ultimate Edition New Gen Arena Megathread

No. It was clear from the start that the ring would be re-released. Steve even confirmed it. Nobody bought it because of the ring, but because of three exclusive figures and the exclusive stage.

Steve said it's all exclusive to the backers. He also said that the figures will not be re-released. He also confirmed that the Doink will never return as an Ultimate Edition. Not even in outfits. And also the Macho Man will never return in that outfit again.

I understand the uncertainty about all the re-releases, but the New Gen set + the figures will never be seen again in this form.

Stop saying “Nobody bought it for the ring, they bought it for the figures.” You don’t speak for everybody. I literally got in on the project specifically for the ring and entrance and didn’t give a crap about the figures. The presumption of people that go, “Well, this is my thought on the matter and a handful of people I spoke to, so this is reality,” is incredibly annoying. You do not speak for everyone. Your perception is not always the reality of everybody’s situation. Stop treating your opinions as fact. YOU only cared about the figures.

And furthermore, the ring has NOT been rereleased. The molds have been reused for a completely different ring. The only thing that is the same are the wooden boards. That’s like saying the first CM Punk elite is the same as the last CM Punk elite. Different eras, different rings.

I think some folks here need to chill. This is how these things start. First, you get a pop from the initial people who missed out.. Then things settle down a bit for a while and later things pick up again over time. Then, you'll have people crying about how unfair it was to get this set and how expensive they are. I bought one set and I stored it away. I plan to sell it when I need some extra cash. If you really want this set, just get it now that it's at a decent price. For me personally, there aren't any figures that I'm willing to spend double or triple the amount for. I do what I can.

I was in the market for a ring and couldn’t make up my mind on which way to go. A few weeks later the crowd fund got announced and I was immediately sold. I mainly got it for the ring and entrance

Doink will 100% get a new Ultimate somehow someway eventually in a different attire, probably several years from now, there’s no point in limiting themselves to never making him again just so some nerds don’t complain. They spent money on those new parts.

Diesel was plain af, that figure never getting released again is no real loss, he’ll get another figure in better gear and hopefully with better head sculpts

Savage won’t be made in that gear again and that’s fine, he’s got so many other ones to do

The stage is obviously going to be exclusive and so will some of the ring skirts

From what I understand, the turnbuckle covers have holes that slip over the studs. I’ve seen people comment that some of their turnbuckle pads weren’t fastened out of the box and they had to do it themselves. They also said it was a pain to do it.

If you’re going to change ropes, don’t make them too tight. Some people have had their posts snap just from the ropes that came with the ring. I make sure that all 4 sides have equal slack so the force is being applied to all 4 posts as equally as possible and I’ve been fortunate so far.

I had to sell mine and the UE COLLECTION, but starting to collect again.

if you ever sell any of the 30 hit me up and help a collector out

Now the new crowdfund is confirmed as WCW, will be interesting to see if there are more WWF guys who didn’t pick up the new gen set yet who will now be pulling the trigger on the secondary market, potentially spiking interest and prices?

I would suspect some were maybe waiting to see what this years crowdfund was before deciding where their money is going and those who aren’t particularly big WCW guys like myself will have had their minds made up.

So, file down the clip hook edges, before installing...?
