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

I don't know why they put Rey Mysterio at 5,000 backers. I think this was released as a basic in the last year.

Sudden jump in backers, I see. I think we could see a big push now heading in to the Hogan deadline - it's make or break time.

I honestly think Mattel might have got a tad greedy here putting Rey with the stage, ddp or Steiner would have gotten to 5k much easier, I think Mattel thought getting to 5k was going to be a breeze, but as we can see that’s not the case, it’s gonna come down to the wire if you ask me

Sorry but while I think the stage is really cool, I do not have room for it. I also don’t need any of those figures since I dont collect Ultimates. Ill wait for a 2000 WCW or a 2003 WWE Elite Scott Steiner.
I HOPE it gets funded for all of you that want it. But I got no dog in this fight.

But absolutely agree otherwise. I think they saw the initial campaign getting around 5-6k. There's be a surge around the DDP tier, and then Steiner would push sales up to 9k. Warrior always seemed out of reach, which unless the flood gates opened.

I said months ago when Steve told us it would be way more expensive than the New Gen Arena that I was out. I don’t have the money or space for something this big. Plus the only figure worth a damn in this whole thing is Scott and I don’t see this thing getting to 9K. The increased price means less people buying multiples like last time.
I’m not out here hoping this thing fails. I hope you all get your Hogans and Warriors. But $400 is way beyond my limit.

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. no you don’t.

That Amazon Hulk was ing garbage. Those scans sucked hard. Even worse they put them on the Hollywood Hogan Ultimate.

Let me tell you something brother, if you think we will not see this Hogan later down the track in any other series... YOU ARE WRONG DOOOOOOODE!!!!! (deep breath) There are thousands upon thousands of Hulkamaniacs who will be doing whatever it takes to get this HIGHLY UNECESSARY figure brother...
And IMO this funding is pretty much exclusive to North America, the international fans just cannot justify paying this much for it (on top of shipping), especially with how things are going around the world with inflation.

Was there ever any official confirmation on the wall mounting stuff?
I saw a few people (possibly via the Major Pod?) said it's not happening, but also noticed Fig Heel doubled down on it in his IG comments.

This needs to succeed. Not just to get this amazing properly-scaled stage of our dreams, not just to allow future crowdfunds, but also to support getting more WCW names signed to deals and made as figures, going forward. And I mean the more-obscure "DEEP DIVE" names, not just the same names who've already had loads of figures, not just the usual "WWE guys" in their WCW gear. True WCW representation - mid-carders, tag-teams, cruiserweights/luchas, managers, women, announcers, referees, etc. - many of which spent little to no time in WWE. Last time I brainstormed a Legends wishlist, I came up with over 120 figures I'd like to see made, the vast majority of which are WCW/NWO era, and most probably classify as deep cuts (link to my latest wishlist, for anyone curious - forum.wrestlingfigs.com/post/9410277/thread ) Today I've been staring at these stage photos and reading through my wishlist. And I keep thinking it'd be terrible not to get that stage, but it would be even worse for that to also mean most of those WCW Legends never get figures too. I don't agree with most of the figure choices. I don't agree with the US/UK price difference. I don't have much money. But this is the greatest moment in the history of our hobby, and WCW needs to win this war! So my order is officially in! WCW 4 Life
