βUPDATE: We heard the complaints that international buyers were being overcharged and thus the campaign was unsuccessful. We at Mattel have been in deep discussion about what we can do to fix this going forward. However we enjoyed the idea of scamming our international customers so much that we will not lift a finger to change this system. Therefor we have decided we will do nothing about this. Go fudge yourself and have a good dayβ I like this guy. Can't believe they said "f**ge" |

You think this not getting backed will mean we won't get another crowdfund project for awhile?
The period from the New Gen to the Nitro Stage was far too long IMO and they should have rode that wave of excitement. Announce the new crowdfund while everyone is getting their previous one in the mail. Not sure if it would've made a difference or not but it seemed like the hype was huge when people started receiving the New Gen set.
I hope they give it another shot with a new project soon.

If they do it sooner than later, they better come with the heat. Thereβs a TON of people who didnβt wanna see this backed and are enjoying the βtearsβ of the folks that supported it. Iβm all for not wanting something but the folks(mainly on Facebook) celebrating the failure and rubbing it in are some weirdos. To each their own but weird is weird. |

Yeah I think those who backed Nitro are feeling a little burned right now (both from Mattel for letting it fail, AND from the non-backing revelers for laughing at it's failure). I'd be in no mood to back something else just yet and I'm sure there are others who feel the same way..... going to need some time (and a hell of a great offer) to get us bitter Nitro backers on board again! |

Depending on what it is, Iβm probably not gonna be in the market for many more crowd funds. Iβve got no real interest in any other stages unless it was something from times of unique stages or a WrestleMania stage. If they do a Raw stage Iβll likely pass on that. Bigger, more expensive and way less cooler looking than Nitro imo. |

Only thing I see them doing at this point is Elimination Chamber but thatβs probably a couple years off. I think they want to sell more ultimate scale rings before they start crowdfunding accessories for it. HIAC is a possibility but I honestly donβt think it needs a crowdfund. Probably can be made and sold as a joint RSC/Creations exclusive for around $100-$150 paired with a figure. |

Its sort of funny that collectors are gonna get saddled with the Nitro ring but no Nitro stage
And perhaps a RAW is WAR ring with no RAW is WAR stage, or at least no stage for quite awhile

We want multipacks! Not playsets! Figs donβt need to be crowdfunded though. Thereβs no upfront costs that need to be secured before they can start production on action figures. That being said, a great majority of us arenβt MOC collectors and are just fine with getting a DX Army sold individually over multiple waves instead of one big box set. |

I'd back something closer to the size of the New Gen entrance if they put it up and the price was right. Obviously it would take some signing finesse to make it worthwhile, but I'd stated earlier in the thread, I'd be all over something like this:  (Not necessarily the bWo) They're already doing ONS RVD (if I remember correctly, all set on RVD over here), but get me an ECW Heyman, ONS Angle (if he's available again), maybe lock down a mid to big signing along the way (fingers crossed for Justin Credible, for me), or something along those lines, and I'd be into it. Skip the ring, dial down the size of the "feature", and find that pricing sweet spot. |

It's hard to get good pics (quick, at least) of the old ECW entrance, where the chain link enclosed the space around the brick wall a bit, but something like that, with some of lighting and what have you, could possibly be justification for a smaller scale, but still premium priced item. I'm also just thinking selfishly as an old ECW fanboy. |

If you make it exclusive with 5 or more wrestlers it's crowdfundable IMO. I mean, we're already buying the CC 2 packs. |
