I don't understand, we got a Raw is War ring and no entrance stage. Then we get a WCW entrance stage and no ringskirts to make a WCW ring. Damn mattel you guys are all over the place smh

Just think those elites can be sold off for 1/4 of the cost. Because that's what Macho diesel and doink go for heck my entrance stage went for 120 and I bought 3 of them keep to moc so far.

400 bucks and no figures till it hits 5k? Ouch.

I don’t think $400 is a terrible price IF all five figures were 100% included. But if the early bird doesn’t hit its deadline and the last couple tiers don’t hit - then it isn’t worth that price.

I never hear anyone dying to have that Rey. And when I think of Nitro he's not the first to come to mind by a long shot. I know they want to keep heavy hitters like the chain metal big poppa pump, nwo bischoff, denim scott hall as future releases. But rey as the main attraction here is silly. I know the stage is the star of the show but figures are important and they needed someone more main event level.

This one’s gonna be a pass for me as well. The Nitro stage is a piece of art, no denying that. Some seriously baffling Ultimate figure choices though. Haven’t people on this forum been clamoring for a DDP in jeans forever now? Instead we get him in his ring gear. The Steiner is cool just wish the attire could be more accurate.

Just noticed something, the early bird backing bonus is ONLY good (based on their wording) if it hits 5k backers between the opening of campaign and April 7th… So no guarantee on that early bird bonus even… I get what they’re trying to do but dang, that’s rough. I’ll get 2 or 3 and hope it fully funds. Thats a good thing tho. It doesn’t discourage people from coming in late. You’ll get Hogan regardless if you back day 1 or the last day as long as it funds early. At least you can cancel though. I’ll be cancelling if Hogan isn’t included

I'm betting if this gets funded. Well get a wcw ring with a fig just like the raw is war Kane set. There has to be a reason they didn't include ring skirts Steve commented to someone under who posts asking for UE outsiders saying “patience” so I’m betting a Nitro ring and UE outsiders like the RIW ring with Kane

It's a thing of beauty... if it doesn't get funded then you all suck Not everyone loves a defunct wrestling company that went away 22 years ago, so can you really blame people who don’t back it? I don’t love WCW enough to drop $100 on it, and especially at $400, no way. They could have atleast dropped better figures. The only one that looked remotely plausible for this project is Scott Steiner. I swear, we don’t need another Hogan or Warrior (with jeans).

Rey is my top want in the set. I thought WCW was garbage outside a few things, one of which was the cruiserweight division and Rey was a major part of that. Paying $400 for him though seems wild. Haha

This is an amazing set, but I have no room for it. The deciding factor for me was always going to be the figures, and the only one I actually want is Scott Steiner. I hope it gets fully funded but I'm out.

It’s annoying because this thing is actually a good value, or rather it would have been.
IF it got fully funded to get all 5 figures, and IF they replaced the Hogan with almost anything that was a little more special/original.
WCW Bret? Macho from Halloween Havoc? WCW champ Booker? Singles Rick Steiner? Total Package Lex?
Nope. Hulk rerelease.

I was banging on about it being a 2-in-1, and to be honest, I still think it should have been. A WCW Product, 20 years after the promotion died off, seems like it will have a limited fan base in general. How many people were watching WCW back then, that 20 years later will want to spend megabucks on a titantron set up? A 2-in-1 would have drawn in the Raw Is War fans that just went out and bought the ring/Kane combo in anticipation of the crowdfund being Attitude Era themed. The very common figures (Rey, Warrior, Hogan and DDP are already readily available) being tacked on doesn't really do a whole lot here. I get that you want a big name to anchor it (warrior would have been a good early bird, but the figure should be wearing the duster in the pics to help sell it) and then you should have had more obscure wrestler/outfit choices that may not sell too well at retail (WCW Champion Booker T or Bischoff with the beard/stubble for example). DDP in jeans seems really sought after, so even including soft-goods jeans on this DDP figure would have been a wise idea, surely?). If they struggled with getting the figures right, an extra tier would have been good, if it was a little platform with an announce desk on it. I was never a big WCW fan, so I wouldn't be backing this anyway, but I will compliment their efforts on the stage itself. It's genuinely amazing looking. The detail, the lights, the effort that went into that is incredible. My wet dream would be the same level of work going into a 2003 Titantron. I'd back that in a heartbeat. I hope they sort the electronic issues from the last stage (apparently it turned itself off after 30seconds or so). This should be able to be left with it's lights turned on permanently, and I presume it's plug-in and not battery operated. I won't be involved, especially not at the international prices they want to charge, but I wish them the absolute best with it and I hope, for the sake of those who do back, that it reaches all the tiers and they might, hopefully, chuck an extra or two in again (I believe Macho was a late announcement last time as the crowdfund was struggling?) to garner interest in it. My exact thoughts. I think a RA entrance stage or RAW IS WAR would have been a home run.

This one interests me way more than the New Gen arena. I want it to get funded but I don't have high hopes.

I just don’t get it The new gen arena only got backed because they chose a highly detailed, iconic attire that we wouldn’t have otherwise ever got. They followed it up with a plain yellow trunks Hulk I can buy on Amazon for $30 right now with the sole difference being a different facial expression. Hogan is coming with two soft goods shirts, two bandas, wristbands, and the WCW belt
