It would be nice if they announced a subtraction. No ring,… -$100 I was thinking the same but it would probably be infeasible logistically and financially.

Let’s just hope it’s at or very close to 5K on 8/13 cuz I doubt it gets funded if not.

I'm going to back this but what concerns me is that Steve kind of hinted that future projects might not get the go-ahead unless this one works out. I'll be pretty bummed if we never get an Elite/UE scale attitude era Raw stage, Smackdown fist stage or something else cool like In Your House or another PPV. Well these projects cost Mattel time and money that could be spent on other successful ventures. They won't keep trying something if it doesn't work.

they really need better pictures of the ring on the page. and to promote this more.
like, would it KILL the WWE to give them a few plugs on RAW/Smackdown etc?

They should post a poll for the next creation before time ends

Whether it hits goal or not, Mattel higher-ups can’t be happy that they had to give for free around $50 of product just to entice buyers. They also changed the terms and conditions 3 times now. I wonder what’s coming next… Steve said the budget for the Macho and table was cut from the marketing budget for the campaign, so the margins should be the same if it’s funded. I love you. Marketing budget? What was the proposed marketing campaign that they were waiting for? Either way, they pitched their bosses on Plan A- the first Crowdfunded project nonetheless- and that didn’t work so had to change and give up more. Idk, unless this blows past 5k, I would see this as a failure if I was in charge

The only problem is that now anyone who orders after the 13th is going to feel like they're missing out, so it's almost more of an incentive for late buyers to just not bother.

I may back it come next week if it's close. Still don't want it, but I think the resale value will make it worth it eventually.

The addition of the Macho Man got me a lot more on the side of backing it...
But if I did back it will I be charged immediately still or did they fix that?

Stage and macho announcer set for 150 wouldve done better.

If the goal is within reach by the deadline I can see them extending the preorder until the last day of the month. I do not see them making any more adjustments to the higher tiers.

Essentially a repaint of the prior UE Macho. Smart move by Mattel, no new tooling costs, and a popular character to maybe get them over their goal.
