I'm assuming they are waiting on the final preorders, but likely in the realm of whatever that number finishes at. If they hit 5k then they probably make around that amount plus maybe a few hundred extra for samples, QC issues, etc. The only way they make 25k would be if they had at least that many preorders which I'm sure for them would be a very good problem to have. I think he means regular Ultimate Editions. Understood, sorry about that. Not sure what that number is, but it got me wondering what are the quantities for most Comic-Con exclusives? Probably somewhere between 5-10k? Just saying if this thing barely squeaks by at 5k imagine the resale value on Diesel and especially Savage. If they were just loose figures then it would be a different story, but these being MOC make me think about the outrageous aftermarket prices for a 1/5,000 Macho Man.

definitely. you know there will collectors not willing or unable to pay $250 for this but hope it gets filled so they can later buy one or more of the things separate for cheaper do you plan on scalping yours? How exactly can you scalp something that literally everyone has an equal opportunity to purchase?

I think he means regular Ultimate Editions. Lets do a little math and make assumptions. there are 1909 Target stores in the USA. Since ue are or have been exclusive to target (minus flair and scsa) Lets say each store is only given 4 of each ultimate editon figure. That would equal 7636. Remember only 4 for each store at that number. what if they get 8 of each figure which would be more realistic, Now lets add in ringside with their preorders, amazon and everything else, I think it would be safe to say that each figure is at 15-20k made. This macho will be under 5k made in all likely hood if ever

It would only be 1 of 5k Macho Man if it got 5k backers before the 13th. It could be 1 of 4 or even 3k.

Put one of these on a credit card. Pay it off. Quadruple your money in one year. You don't get a lot of chances to invest in a turnaround like that.
I cannot stress it enough, the minimal effort you will put into reselling each piece individually will be nothing when you make bank on a $250 investment.

August 12th, I'm down to back it. Maybe twice.
That's honestly the most appealing part of the entire package.

Think about how insanely valuable that would be.

I still don't think it makes it to 7k, though.

11:45 AM Central time -- 1,127 (~22%) backers
1:49 PM Central time -- 1,337 (~26%) backers
This Macho Man was a real shot in the arm.

I still don't think it makes it to 7k, though. If there isn't less than 1,000 to cover by 9pm on the 13th, I'd be surprised to see it crack 5,000. The upfront value to collectors and resellers is at its peak right now. When you add no-more-Savage to the mix, your chances of funding drastic go down.

Do all figures included come in ultimate packaging?

I still don't think it makes it to 7k, though. That's a lofty number. Obviously Mattel has proven that they are listening and willing to make this work. I wonder if it comes down to crunch time in the final week and they are still short of 5k if they do something with Doink to put it over the top?

They should honestly just bundle the skirts into the initial bundle, and reduce Doink to like 5.5k.

If we fail to back it do get the Doink and the skirts then we failed, not Mattel. There is an argument to be made to reducing the goals to 6 and 7k but wanting them to just outright give is more than they already have is ridiculous.

Now I still have the same issues with space but for those who have the room this is a real booster. Great reveal
