Yup. I think it would of created FOMO and also made the Hogan more special. I do appreciate that they at least tried to include Hogan for everyone if they got 5k within the time period. I think they should of extended the time. Yes. May 5 is a long way too go. Lots can happen. They won't make any moves until after Friday. It will be a wait and see. Let's me honest, they have spent a good amount of money already to get this thing together. They do want to see it get funded. Totally agree, but most importantly they spent a lot of time. To see it go down the drain would be sad. I need all the figures in this set. I was going to get the elite 100 Rey, but he has those huge hands and this one has better articulation. Although, to be honest I don't like the attire. I would of went with black, red or blue.

So do we just get our money back if the stage doesn't get funded immediately?? Or do they hold a charge in your account? Unless you did a payment plan you’re not charged until the end of the campaign. If the campaign ends and it’s not funded then you would never have been charged. If you did a payment plan, I’d imagine you’ll be refunded at the end of the campaign of what you were charged if it doesn’t fund.

Dude, I got ing fired. A lot of people at my company got laid off. Lay offs are happening across the U.S. Lay offs are happening across the world because companies are paranoid about a recession and trying to cut as much labor as they can. Inflation is up across the world. Energy prices have spiked everywhere, especially Europe. $400 is a lot to ask for right now. You don’t think I want to plunk down $400 on this?! This is the kind of stuff I dream about. The two wrestling toys I love more than figures are scale rings and entrance stages. It makes me furious when I see people saying, “You said you wanted it and Mattel made it and now you’re not putting your money where your mouth is.” I’m glad things are rosy for you and you don’t need to worry about $400, but that’s not the economic reality of a lot of us. I saw plenty of people complaining that they had to cut back on figures because the price increased $2 or $3. Mattel dropped an expensive niche product in the most uncertain economic time since late 2008. You’ll have to forgive me for not being economically stable enough right now to back the thing that is literally my dream item. It’s beyond my control.

For $400, you’d think they’d have Atleast given Steiner the correct boots. And the correct U S Title.

Hope you find something new and get back on your feet man! In the end this is just a hobby and this is a wrestling figure forum. Hopefully it will get funded and you will be able to get it in the future in better times

Maybe Mattel shouldn’t have scammed everyone outside the US 🤷♂️
I said this in the other thread but the momentum lost in those crucial first few hours by non-Americans refusing to pay hundreds of dollars more is hard to quantify. I dare say this could have easily exceeded the 5k by now even with the mountains of other mistakes mattel made

Maybe not even the hulkster can sell merchandise in 2023 His Wrestlemania and Summerslam Elites are moving but nobody wants his Wrestlemania 38 Basic.

Technically, the ones Mattel gave him aren't incorrect as he wore a pair of mid length boots too. What really grinds my gears is the lack of sculpt work on his biker trunks. It's just flat out cheaply painted just like RVD's chicken legs.

Is that a quote from the movie Tombstone? Yeah. Was going to post the YouTube clip but too much work.

Just finished watching the crowdfund Livestream and I really Want this. A lot of people still seem focused on the figs, but let's not forget it's about the stage the stage!! The stage (and Hogan/Mysterio) aren’t worth $400+

i like the stage and probably would back it if the figures meant more to me but the way some people like the OP wrote this like its our civil duty to help fund it is bonkers. now i hope the whole thing fails

There’s literally a thread discussing the enter Crowd Fund campaign. Absolutely no reason to create another thread, because you feel your opinion is more important or something.

I just want it to reach 5,000 and be made. The figures will be made eventually. If just 5000 back it and they don’t have to make the other ultimates, would Mattel drop the price?
By the way, this Nitro stage looks awesome. The RAW stage looks like hot garbage.
