If the offer was attractive, other collectors would not have to defend the project.
The posts on instagram or on the forum to explain that we don't understand anything, that it is an interesting offer are counter productive.
I don't buy such an expensive product to please others or hoping that the next made to order will be more interesting.
If Mattel is not able to make a success of its first launch I don't see why the next ones would be better or more interesting for me.
Either the starting price should be lowered or all the addons should be included.

We need RSC to buy 1000 of these to move that meter closer to 5k and that will get people on fence to back this.
I hadn’t thought of that. I’m surprised Ringside doesn’t step in and buy a couple thousand of them too.Agree |

$60 for entrance? No.. more like 80-100, easily. All I hear is it’s not what they wanted.. well, we aren’t going to get anything else, if we don’t support this. Even if you don’t want this.. there is no doubt youd be able to make all and more $$ back by reselling it. People are complaining they don’t have $$ now but sooner or later they will and they’ll end up paying much higher prices to get the entrance and or ring. You cant force someone to buy something they dont want. |

The people that aren't interested shouldn't be forced to buy this also the people who do but are waiting until last minute or for it to pass 5K first will probably kill the chance of this being made or getting Doink.

1000 would be 250.000 Dollars 😅👍 If you think about it. Say they order 5k of their ringside exculusives @20 each. Thats 100k just for one figure. Its not a bad investment for a company that has been around as long as ringside. Plus once people see the actual moc product and it is no longer available to buy other than ebay, I believe ringside can easily charge $350 plus shipping That has potential of 100k profit. Not just breaking even |

People bitch about the price of elites being higher at Target than Walmart....regardless of what this was priced at people are gonna bitch. |

The RAW entrance waa $65 at K-mart. It lit up and played 5, or more, superstar themes. Not to mention it was a heck of a lot more plastic. |

lol! That was at least 10 years ago. And probably had a greater production run than this…So it would have cost less to produce.

RSC could sell these at a huge markup on their site / Ebay store so I don’t see why they wouldn’t buy a good chunk of these. If these get made the value will triple when they are released. |

We don't want the 5k at deadline. We need 8k. The value isn't there for the bare minimum.

I'm just using it as an example the New Gen entrance value, if sold at retail, isn't more than $60... might want to consider the context before commenting.. |

even if you liked New Gen, there's just not enough there being offered at that price point. The entrance isn't anything elaborate, the ring is pretty cool but as usual too big, and Diesel isn't exactly must-have. The incentive of a Doink at 8k is poor at best.
They could have focused on the golden era, or attitude era, reissue both cages they made before because they've been gone for years, include reissued legends they still have rights to. Top it off with the highest target unlocking a Harley Race.
You'd see how fast they'd get to 10k backers lol.

At the moment, I can’t back it. However, the closer we get, depending on my finances and the level it’s at, I might buy it, especially if it hits 7k prior and Doink is added. We’ll see what happens though.
Sucks it won’t be shipped until next year, if it gets made at all.

A foot tall play set scaled to 7-inch action figures isn’t going for less than $80 at retail, and likely would be around the $100 mark in 2021. The K-Mart Raw entrance stage wasn’t to scale, was smaller, had way fewer lights and electronic components, and was released nearly a decade ago. |
