They should honestly just bundle the skirts into the initial bundle, and reduce Doink to like 5.5k. no they shouldnt. There is more than enough value with the Macho for the 250. 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. What are you on about? Consumers can not fail a business, only the opposite. The fact is that if even more was included, more would back; their profits are not my concern, only my gain. When this likely still doesn't hit 5k, will it then be the fault of the consumers for voting that there was not enough value? Also, you're the little guy, dude, not part of a corporation, and standing up for them, IMO, is ridiculous. To each their own, though.

If I didnโt think selling the ring/announcers table would be a hassle, Iโd definitely back this.

anyone wanna make a bet??? if it gets to 2k backers before the 12th, iโll back up 6 more. thatโs a total of 8 of these backed up by me At this rate we could see it pass 2k within 24 hours. We've gone up 6% in just a few hours.

So I see it as $250 for 2 UE figures and the entranceโฆ and then trying to sell the table and ring. For me, I donโt think itโs worth it.

To each their own, though. The problem is even though I'm the "little guy" I as an adult understand that when you fail to reach a goal you shouldn't just be handed it for no reason. I don't care about Mattel's profits, however I also have the ability to use logic and reason that businesses aren't charities and can't just give everything away for free. You also miss understood what I said, I never said we would fail Mattel, we are failing ourselves and other collectors after Mattel gave us a chance to put our money where our mouths are support a crowd funding project for something a lot of us have only ever dreamed about actually getting. I get that your attitude towards businesses is currently hot and trendy and to an extent has its place. However it's become extremely tiresome when grown ups use it to act like children and drop all sense of reality when speaking about them.

People who say this can be flipped easy are overestimating the demand of scale rings. May depend where you live. I cannot imagine many of these 5k/7k whatever hitting UK shores especially for reselling purposes. Lots of people here don't want the hassle of importing. Ring will be a slightly trickier sell than the figs for US people, but there are so few I doubt it will be an issue.

People who say this can be flipped easy are overestimating the demand of scale rings. My thinking is that the other pieces to the set are going to be high priced items. The Macho Man and the stage specifically are things I see going for hundreds. The Diesel being a limited UE and the exclusive announce table additions will get you some decent money. With that said, you can take a loss on the ring. Its still a quality item with a ton of detail. Even if you can only get $50 for it, you've made enough from the rest of the lot. Not to mention, sell everything else up front and sit on the ring for a few years. Store it away for 3-5 years and the market will pop back up. This is a limited item and it looks great. There's value somewhere.

Crossed 1400 now. A 7% jump in a few hours! If it hits 5k in a timely manner then we may see Doink!

People who say this can be flipped easy are overestimating the demand of scale rings. This is a good point. If this hits 5k, Iโd say conservatively youโve got 1000 people trying to sell the ring/stage. The figures will be what are really in demand.

One worry I have about this. Will we see many backers after August 13th now? If people know they missed the boat on Macho does this effect last minute backing? I was thinking this as well but I feel/hope they have one last surprise up their sleeve for that final push.

This is a really interesting scenario Mattel has put themselves in.
How many people may have been waiting to the last minute to sign up because they were planning their finances out and now have to figure out how to re-plan or swallow the pill of not getting the early bird special?
I'm not sure if this made things better or worse for Mattel. After the 13th, we'll probably have a REALLY good idea if this will reach the goal, and it seems to me Mattel may have unintentionally shortened the order window by 9 days, because who is realistically going to sign-up after and miss out on what is now a big piece of the missing puzzle?

Ring is probably something youโre gonna wanna hold on to. Itโll appreciate over time. Especially when accessories are made for it. But I doubt youโre gonna get much ROI early on.
