It’s cool but I wouldn’t have anywhere to put it.

Stage alone. $200. Add 2 ulitmate figures. $275. I think everyone is thinking re-selling prices. Stop. Do not give mattel any ideas how much more you will spend. The $250 price tag for the first crowd fund made my jaw drop, but then they added Macho. I was sold and thought it was a good deal so I bought in. If mattel tries to crowd fund this at $400 then I will probably sit out.

Is there really a thread asking a question on if we'd spend $800 on this? It looks great but the price point is intimidating. $300+ for this easily and I just do not want to fork over that kind of $$$. Let alone, whatever figures they'd include with it. But I'd say $350 is absolutely the top of what I'd pay. Yeah, I wish the poll had a $200-$299 option. I’m not a big AE fan, but I’m a sucker for players and this one looks cool. Just not sure it’s $300+ cool. |

This needs a depending on the price option or less than $300 options. but even if it was within my budget i dont know where i would put it. It needs to be scaled down a bit. It obviously wont include the smoke/flame affects they showed, but a working tron or ability to slide a tablet in to download theme music would be great

I would buy it but its more simple than the New Generation Ring from the past. So i thing it might cost less than the ring since it was 250 the ring. But i would love for it to be made, it would give a good addition to the rings and collections.

The Justice League RC Batmobile has them and I have to say, they’re a lot of fun. |

Attitude era is a cool era to cover and this set looks so impressive but I wouldn't want that space-wise and I still wouldn't spend more than 250 on a crowd fund project.
Figures I would like would be Mr McMahon (enough looks available between suit, ring gear, raw is war jacket) Attitude era paul bearer, some dx era Shawn Michaels we havent seen. Would love it if they could swing getting Sable, Gangrel, or Val Venis in the line for this one. One can dream.
They mentioned they don't want to do a ring in every crowd fund. Assuming people bought the new Gen arena, they could include red ropes and ring skirts. I like the Attitude era theming. Having a display piece to display the Attitude era would be fun. Maybe it doesn't have to be a stage. Most of the fun in the Attitude era didn't happen on a stage. Dx army, Austin backstage shenanigans, kane vs Taker..I think this one needs to go back to the drawing board. This stage got people talking but I don't think it's right for mass production.

Looks like the overall consensus is that if they made one scaled down approximately 25% without some of the bells and whistles (doubt the would do working pyro anyway) for roughly in the $300 price range most of us would be on board.

Probably not since shipping anything to anywhere but the continental US is unreasonably high for me to pay, and Mattel isn't great at making product available to other countries. Would probably cost me an insane amount.
Would 100% buy it if I saw it at retail though.

The stage looks wonderful! I recently started a Mattel WWE Attitude figure collection which the collection is based on the WWF roster in 1998 (I picked a particular timeframe in the AE so all figures look like they go together since wrestlers were changing their look and the roster went through changes throughout the AE).
I’ve been wondering what I can use to display them on or what kind of background to use on my display shelf. One idea came to mind is my classic Raw Is War TitanTron stage from Jakks Pacific 22 years ago as a throwback instead of something that looks fitting. Even though I’d have to create a display that can handle this, I’d love to have this to display my figures which they fortunately designed the Raw is war from the 1998 timeframe so it would go perfectly with my figures.
The biggest determining factor in whether or not I’d buy this is price. It looks super cool but it’s all plastic rafters and black fabric. And some mini LED lights which is very cheap however I think the lights is unnecessary. It’s also pretty unnecessary to include figures with this, it sounds like a bad excuse to raise the price. If they have to include a figure then why not do a throwback to the 99 TronReady Raw stage by including Vince McMahon from the late 90’s in his business attire (we already have a number of Mr. McMahons in his street/fighting attire which he only wore at selective times, I still want Mr. McMahon in his business attire like he was dressed majority of the times).

How much I would love it if it had a circular trapdoor and elevator mechanism surrounded by fake flames and happened to also come with Gangrel.

If I had the chance at this when I was a kid, I'd have been in my element! Honestly though, as an adult collector I've never had a ring/stage setup in my collection so not for me but I can imagine some of you guys that have kids will be buying the crapout of this!

No way is that happening for a home edition Oh, ha, ha, I missed the flames. But the smoke is doable. The Batmobile came with a bottle of fake smoke that you can pour into it. It’s really cool. So it’s not without precedent at Mattel. |

I'd rather have a Nitro stage or even Thunder, but this is still very cool, and if they make it I really hope they keep the scale accurate I am finalising a custom Nitro stage I hope mattel make one |

Yeah or even make it so the ramp is several pieces so you can adjust how long it is based on space and maybe have risers so that the entrance stage height is adjustable. There was a SHIELD Helicarrier that came out a few years ago where you could use a third included piece like a table leaf to make it longer if you wanted to make a supercarrier or leave it out to make a smaller more space friendly design. The scaffolding can probably stay as is as it actually isn't that big, it just looks big because of the black cloth backdrop and I doubt we're getting that. It's probably just a bit bigger (taller) than the New Gen entrance piece and that lighting rig, I don't know if that would even be a part of it. At the very least, it's just pinned to the cloth backdrop anyway so it's clearly optional. That’s a good idea to make it adjustable. Kind of like the ring barricades that Mattel and RSC made. I bought a bunch of those to make them surround a bigger area. Mattel could make the scaffolding into shorter segments that snap together to adjust their height so you can adjust it to fit in the space a collector has available. Kind of like K’Nex. It would also allow Mattel to reduce the number molds they have to pay to be created. And maybe the scaffolding is also the base for the stage so the stage can be lowered. And the ramp could be stackable pieces or sectioned in a way that allows for adjustments to be made. And the stage grates could be broken up into pieces that allow them to be adjusted, too. Kind of like a Lego-style, build-your-own entrance sort of thing. This is probably the only entrance stage you could do that with, but I’m sure Mattel could reuse the molds for something else in the future. Guys I like to think I have nailed on the head exactly what you are thinking with my custom Nitro stage I designed. Very versatile and breaks down very well |

After seeing this at access I thought no way they would sell this it’s to big but maybe they were testing the reaction for it. I hope they make it imagine if they brought out new skirts and accessories for the new gen arena but attitude era and put them together that would be sick!

I'd pay $100 just for those scaffolds. As for the stage I wish it was a little smaller in scale, I love the texture on the ramp and stage though!
