Could we move doink to unlocks at 6000 backers?
I am really close to jumping in but I really want doink. Not getting him is kind of a deal breaker.

Is payment only visa & MasterCard? No PayPal or Amex options?? You should be able to use the PayPal key option

What I don't understand about people is... Even IF you're not into this project due to size or generation, you putting a pending payment on your card does NOTHING but support future projects you MIGHT love. And then if it does go through, you can keep what you want from the set. Sell/trade the other stuff to get your money back; it'll all jump big in price once it's out and people have it in person and reviews come out etc. Hell, if you don't like any of it then definitely hold onto it for a year and trade it for figures you do want. It's gonna be a numbered piece and ultimates are gonna continue to be all the rage so this set as a whole could easily double in value or more. Look at Rock and HBK ultimates. It's a winning situation no matter what happens UNLESS it fails. Respectfully, I don't understand this logic at all. I can't invest $250 here because in the future there might better projects I like more than this. Makes no sense at all. Order something you have no interest in and hope for something better next time? Should we apply this logic in all areas of life or just toys?

Can we dead the secondary market argument? Viewing collectibles as just value accruing assets is not a way a lot of people collect. It takes the joy out of the hobby. I turned around and backed 2 of them today because I thought the value was worth it and that macho will probably be awesome, but I’m not gonna all of a sudden start shilling arguments on why folks who still don’t want it need to buy it.

If it was a regular release I wouldn’t agree with the reselling/scalping method but for this and to get people to fund it I say go for it. I firmly believe this will only go up in value and will help fund other projects. It’s kind of a win win

This isn’t like walking into a store and buying every figure that is hard to find and buying them to resell for money. Everyone is able to get this without paying scalping prices....I wish scalpers were buying these up right now so we can get this made and possibly get Doink.

At 34% now, 1,700 so a big jump today. Again not giving my hopes up.

I doubled down on the ring. Plan was to back again (I've already backed once) if / when Doink was included. Macho is even better, so I'll have 2 of these thank you!
Let's hope Mattel doesn't have another Ultimate figure they are going to add after the 13th, cause then I'll have to get another one. lol

I’m backing it but I feel like they’ll either A. extend the cut off and include macho till the end or B. Include all tiers at the end to make a final push. Either way I’m happy with what we got right now. I’ll also buy a few

Yeah there will be a ton of people waiting to see if it gets close to decide whether to back or not. So the closer the Macho gets us, the more likely more will follow.

I really wish we waited to see what else Mattel would have done to entice us. Seems like the star power Macho Man has is enough for a lot of people to hop on the train.

Just backed the New Generation Arena. It says expected to ship August 2022, is that accurate? Will it take a full year to ship or is that an error?

I just don’t think that argument is gonna help persuade people, it’ll do the opposite. It’s not about scalping, it’s about buying something you actually want. The more people yell at others on the fence saying “who cares if you want it, buy it so you can sell it” are missing the point of why this is a hobby to some people. Generally I think conservations around the secondary market need to be toned way down. Also for the quintillionth time, there is no guarantee this thing spikes like crazy when you try to sell it. Will it have a healthy value? Yeah. Will it be worth $1000+ like some speculate? No, at least not in the near future. You don’t even get this thing till a year later so your $250 is locked up until then. Just, chill out folks when trying to persuade others to spend money on something you want.

Got it. I actually googled PayPal Key after posting (hence why I deleted my post lol) Thanks for the heads up, I never knew this existed.
