There hasn’t been much movement today. It’s not looking good. Let’s hope the guys at Mattel have one more ace up their sleeve.

Shawn as an unlockable would’ve helped moved this more. Shawn has fans from2 different eras, new gen and ruthless aggression. Definitely would’ve helped moved the needle Hulkamania era too.

Unless everyone decides to back the last day of Macho Madness, after that..if it's not even close, I don't see any of this happening.

They've tried adding more figures, they should try adding some more actual arena pieces. A blue barricade is sorely needed. That’s one of the most important parts of an arena. They can make a single mold, pump out a bunch, and each piece snaps together. And I’m talking the old steel barricades with the bars. Not the modern padded ones. I don’t know how cheap that would be to produce, though. I also think something like this deserves two sets of steps. One set is inaccurate. None of this will probably boost many sales, I think, but it would get me salivating. I love the details like that.

If this gets made these UE figures Diesel, Doink and Macho Man could very well hit hasbro mail away status in the future.

Technically one set of steps is accurate. 2 sets didnt regularly start showing up until the Attitude Era

I could be wrong and they popped up time to time for PPVs but from the trend Ive noticed watching SNME & PTW lately the stairs are just closest to the entrance way.

They've tried adding more figures, they should try adding some more actual arena pieces. i agree. i just meant from the context of what they had already shown.... but yes if i was designing this as an "ultimate arena" i would have included the ring skirts, announce table/chairs/mic, etc from the beginning. as well as "around the ring" mats and the fencing. ring bell and timekeepers table would have been cool also would have thrown in an American Flag as a nod to the Hasbro ring, and at least a Winged Eagle belt. Maybe some kind of cloth black fabric to lay down as an entrance walkway from the stage piece to the ring. basically i would have gone full ringside area and THEN started adding figures at certain thresholds

The figures were the only reason I donated twice.

Given it's open until 8/22, buying then would be the same as buying tomorrow, correct? Thanks. You just wouldn't get the macho announcer pack if you order after 8/13.

Shawn as an unlockable would’ve helped moved this more. Shawn has fans from2 different eras, new gen and ruthless aggression. Definitely would’ve helped moved the needle Putting Harley Race in this set would move the needle even more. Lots of people still want that figure re-released. We have already gotten diesel and doink multiple times. If you want people to pay $250 for a ring and figure set it needs to be something special. Its great they added a macho man announcers pack, but i don't know if that will be enough. Replace diesel with harley and watch the numbers jump like wildfire.

Great idea but he isn't under a deal right now and wasn't part of that era.

I don’t think Harley Race is as desired as you think he is. If he was released in the regukar line, he’d be $15 on Amazon just like Dusty and Lawler are right now.

We have no idea if his estate still has a legends deal or not because we can not get a straight answer. I don't care if he fits in the era or not, he would sell sets. That should be all that is needed. You add ring skirts from his wwf era, problem solved.

That dude in canada that probably bought a new house and car off all the money he made selling them would probably beg to differ.
