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. No problem. The bad thing is, is that you can’t use PayPal Credit with it But you can link it to use your balance right? If so, that makes backing this way easier for me.

Only way this is gonna hit 5k is you’re gonna have to add something else at 2k another at 3k and 1 more at 4K. Do away with Diesel and add Doink at that spot, then add 2-3 more things. At this pace it ain’t hitting 5k

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. What I don’t understand about people is… If I don’t want to purchase something, I’m not going to spend my money on said item. I’ll spend that money elsewhere. I buy to collect. I don’t buy to re-sell. The amount of "you should back it anyway in hopes later projects will be something you actually want" has gotten to be so f*cking annoying.

Sorry, adding yet another item I don't want isn't going to get me to drop $250. I just want the neon entrance and maybe Doink; that's all I'd pay for.
I don't need another Macho, especially when the last UE Macho was out-of-scale with his elites (coming in shorter by comparison).
EDIT: And if this ends up being the only way I could get them, then I'm totally ok missing out.

What gets me is the Diesel & Macho Man figures will be worth more than $250 on its own not including the stage, Ring and announce table. You could easily sell this and double or triple your money. If this doesn’t get funded we won’t get anything like this in the future. It makes no sense not to back this because you will not lose money on this.

A lot of people don't sell and have no real experience with it. To them it would be a new venture they aren't in the market for. I don't buy any toys to resell later, and I'm not gonna start now. I buy to collect. PLUS, I don't want to give Mattel the impression that bundles are ok and we'll support them. If this one works, expect more bundles for high prices in the future. I don't want that.

We may not get anything like this in the future anyway. And if we do, it probably won’t be until after this one ends and ships. There’s no guarantee of the next being better either. Could be worse.

Nobody has to back this thing unless they want to. People shouldn’t be pressured or treated like they’re “the problem” because they either don’t want this for whatever reason or just simply can’t afford it. $250 is a lot to a lot of people, especially to spend all at once just on toys. Yeah you can sell the stuff later that you don’t want or need, but you’d have to wait a year to do so, not including if any delays come up.

Gotta think a Vince McMahon figure gets added.

I have to say, I think Mattel REALLY tried hard by adding this huge bonus (though it shows the original set was too expensive). But it's clear if this only led to 600 new backers in a day, there's no way it will get to 5,000. And if Mattel added any more extras, they will start losing money. I give Action Figure Attack credit for doing literally all he could. It's so hard to know if there just wasn't demand for a ring, or there is truly not a demand for a WWE crowdfund...

Also one thing to consider about a possible failure of crowdfunding -- I would GUESS that WWE has many more actual children buying figures than Star Wars Black Series, Marvel Legends, etc.
Many of those aren't on message boards -- and probably don't even know about this. (And if they did, would their parents pay?)

If this fails it’s not on Mattel they stepped up big time to help this get backed.

Can’t lie. With the Macho Man they got me. I’m in now! I’ve wanted a WM X Savage forever.

I'd have to rely on finding a buyer within my country because shipping would be an absolute pain. The juice isn't worth the squeeze and absolutely no amount of b*tching or guilt tripping from people will get to agree with their ridiculous mental gymnastics. I sincerely hope this thing is successful for those that want it, but the responsibility of backing it DOES NOT fall on me or anyone that doesn't want it. If anything, people are more than likely just alienating and irritating people on the fence with that kind of attitude. I mean, we even had someone proudly proclaiming that anyone not backing this is simply cheap or broke. People need to gtfo with that kind of blatant idiocy.

If this fails it’s not on Mattel they stepped up big time to help this get backed. How does it not fall on them? They're the ones that decided on the product. Again, shifting blame to consumers because not enough people are interested in what Mattel decided to put out as a crowd funding project is absolutely ridiculous. I think adding Macho was a fantastic idea, but it may still not be enough to entice enough people. Whether that's a result of the overall price or the fact that it's a project based on the New Generation era, one of if not the lowest drawing periods in WWE history, is a whole other story. But at the end of the day, Mattel regardless of whether or not the project is successful, the praise or criticism belongs solely on Mattel, with all due respect to Bill, Steve, and the rest of the team.

In retrospect, they probably should've included the 1993 Hogan with this set. Maybe even the young Vince.

In addition, and maybe it's just my own tastes, but I feel like including the the ring skirts for the big 5 PPVs, as well as IYH, should have been included with the initial bundle. Diesel is cool, as is Doink, but there might have been better options.
