WCW stuff is pretty much the only way that they're going to get me with these. I don't watch current WWE and really haven't with any regularity since probably 2005. I didn't go in for the New Gen arena because I wasn't a WWF fan until probably 1996. Nitro, though...that was my jam!
My biggest thing is that I don't want a ring. I've got three scale rings sitting at home. I bought the NXT ring and every WCW ring apron set they made. I have two AEW rings. I don't want another ring.

Watch it be that giant cage thing from the awful match at WCW Uncensored 1996 with a Z-gangsta figure... Or a scaffold match playset from the 1991 Great American Bash, with an exclusive P.N. News figure! |

I think it's going to be the Raw Entrance Stage. I think it will come with an Ultimate Vince. I saw Steve on a podcast show off the drop down legs on the Mr. Perfect SS wave BAF. He said it won't be a normal thing on elites, so I'm guessing they made it for an ultimate. So I'm thinking that's why we will get an ultimate Vince to go with the Raw stage and the Raw ring that recently came out.

I'd like to see a figure set. Like, 5-10 figures. I have zero desire to have some huge clunky plastic mess sitting anywhere in a room or closet. Like, Best of ECW. Or, Best of WCW. All Ultimates of course. This 100% |

This 100% Never say never because things change but a few times Steveβs said they wouldnβt do that and would find other ways or avenues to get sets out, but I agree a figure set would be great. Iβd like to see something like say 6 figures in one of those 80s style βvinylβ figure cases you had for wwf ljn, real ghostbusters etc |

Can't be the smackdown 6.
Wm 13
Bret hart v Austin
Sycho sid v Undertaker
Lod from street fight
Or Ahmed Johnson v faarooq
A figure set would be cool like Mattel basic toys r us back in the day. Or jakks can't forget how iconic Rene dupree was lol.

Hopefully it's the triple cage with Jimmy King, Gordie, and Sean.

Hopefully it's the triple cage with Jimmy King, Gordie, and Sean. This but change characters into Ddp Jeff Jarrett David Arquette And bonus Mike Awesome and Kanyon to recreate that throw off the cage. |

It would help to know what era itβs from. 1985-1995, Iβm in no matter the price. Earlier than that, maybe some interest, anything later than that, absolutely zero interest.

If this set is going to be more expensive then the last crowd fund, I believe Mattel will really have to blow us away with something that we have not seen before. That rules out the Raw and WCW stage. Leaves the Smackdown fist stage, but what about the ring? Will they have a similar offer of a smackdown ring as they did with the Raw and Kane? If they do the stage it would need to come with figures that will help sell the set... Rock, Brock and hopefully Kurt Angle. They can make a michael Cole with announce table as a stretch goal, being that he has been on Smackdown from the start. Eddie G would be another Ultimate we can get as an early bird or stretch.
In the end, like I said Mattel will have to blow us away to get our money and get this funded. There won't be those people like me that bought multiples of the last one this time

If a ring is involved the chances of me backing it go slimmer.

Converter? Theyβre not similar designs, so I donβt know how that would work. I imagine both will be available separately (Raw this year and Nitro next year). Actually both the raw and nitro sets are mostly made of the exact same components. The truss are connectable and with the stage platform. The only difference is lighting,soft goods (which clip onto the truss), logos and the WCW side blocks/wwf towers. I noticed it immediately when I saw the Nitro. The pieces are multi purpose which could open up a new realm for fig collectors. I'm not seeing that. The truss design, stage, and ramp are all different. I suppose they could make them the same, but it seems to me that they would want to have a specific theme to a crowdfunder and not muddy the waters by doing both WWF and WCW in one set.   |

I really like this idea. It hits all the points of: 1. It makes sense 2. It's expensive 3. They already released the Attitude Era ring; that ring is an EASY base/posts to sell this crowdfund that just has the Nitro mat/skirt/turnbuckles/ropes 4. The Raw stage would be the cheapest portion to produce, since it's mostly just scaffolding; the Nitro stage would be more involved with the greater use of electronics/lights/LEDs 5. Both stages could share the same stage base/ramp (upon closer inspection of the pics from Axxess/SDCC, the Raw stage is twice as high as the Nitro stage; both use the same stage base parts and ramps; Raw ramp has just an additional upper tier to accommodate the doubled height) 6. Could encourage a 2nd purchase of the ring/crowdfund to get 2 separate Raw/Nitro rings and 2 Raw/Nitro stages I hope you're right. I'd be so down for this. Just the stages alone and Nitro ring conversion, in this format, is worth it, and whatever price point. No figs needed; they've dun already released (and I have) most everyone from both time periods. I would low-key be interested in buying 2 of each to cleanly display both rings/stages at the same time (not that I presently have the room for it, BUT knowing I could, if I wanted, would be nice). Not ruling this out but it would suck for those of us who werenβt WCW guys that we have to pay double for the RAW set because of the nitro inclusion (and vice versa for WCW guys not fussed about RAW). Iβm addition, Mattel could probably make more cash selling one this year and one next year. It would suck, I agree, to pay for something you only have half interest in. Unless Mattel is banking on the fact that those who are half interested, would be wanting to sell the other half they don't want... 'cause they have to be well aware of the secondary market. |

I suppose they could make them the same, but it seems to me that they would want to have a specific theme to a crowdfunder and not muddy the waters by doing both WWF and WCW in one set. I see it. nikostoybox is right. I first noticed the stage base similarities, with the Raw stage being double the height of the Nitro stage. I then noticed the ramp similarities, with the Raw ramp being double the length/height. And all the truss pieces are literally the same; if this is the case... omg, I've wanted something like this, that is multi-use for SO long. I've got so many odds and ends truss pieces from all the different sets Jakks released over the years, I low-key wished things were re-used/interchangeable to perform more than one set. If this is the case... Mattel truly has knocked it out of the park. Steve said recently that his "greatest accomplishment" for the Mattel/WWE line will be revealed at Axxess/WrestleMania. If it's this crowdfund, these stages, and this degree of multi-use... this would be a HECK of an accomplishment. I'm excited. This is what's been needed for years & will gladly throw my money at this project. Hell, I might even get 2. |

It has to be the raw is war entrance stage. And with ultimates or elites of Jerry lawler, Vince, Paul bearer and a Mick Foley. Or maybe hell in a cell?
