Just remember everyone, if it doesn't get funded, Mattel isn't to blame. We are. i dont see that at all. Its the collectors fault, Mattel didn't put together a better lineup? Its the collectors fault ..Mattel didnt think about the international fans / buyers? I was being sarcastic lol

Whole campaign is DoA honestly. Doubt it makes it to 5k. There are 30 days left. It will definitely make it, but we won’t get Hogan.

Sometimes as an adult you have to prioritize how you spend your money. Doing fun things with the family or upgrading something in the house or buying new clothes wins out over a display piece like this. It's not glamorous but its reality.

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 WCW 4 Life! I backed this on day one, and hope to heaven it gets made. I’m so WCW, I was watching Spring Stampede and Nitro on Peacock instead of Wrestlemania. Couldn’t care less about current day WWE.

I’d love to have this, but not with 5 figures where I don’t care for three of them (if we don’t get Hogan it’s even less bang for your buck). Make this $300 tops, with Steiner at 5K and DDP in jeans at 7k and I think this would have funded already. Adding in $100 worth of figures not many are asking for is killing this (in addition to the fees international collectors are being forced to pay). It was never gonna be 300 bucks. If they only sold 5000 at 300 a pop they probably would only be making pennies in profit.

Judging by this title, I thought for sure Hogan dropped another verbal leg drop and got himself disqualified again.

I’m sad and happy at the same time. Yes I want it to be made but also glad that people aren’t just buying whatever Mattel makes. Hopefully this will change things and maybe this will open their eyes. Probably not but ya never know.

I spent a while watching WCW from '97-98 a couple of years back. This stage is special to me because it reminds me of the days my dad and I used to watch WCW together. Also, reminds me of playing WCW/nWo Revenge all day with my younger brother. I'm hoping to find some red fabric to display it with this Nitro stage.

I hope that even if we don’t reach 5,000 by Friday, that they extend the Hogan. The thought of 3+ weeks left in the campaign with no chance at Hogan is a total bummer.

They could have produced this entrance stage as an exclusive online release and still made money.

Just gimme the stage. I’d like the Hogan but whatever. Maybe Mattel throws in something as an alternative…(like Steiner early bird for 1 week only if it gets to 5k, then drop the tiers to 6k for ddp, and 8k for Warrior)
