Absolutely, look at the New Gen crowdfund, the figures are make or break for these things. Especially if the Early Bird is a sought after figure. Also the Hogan is the definition of half assed, I don't really care about WCW figures so it's not a matter of me wanting them, it's calling a spade a spade. Sure they are, but I’m not convinced that Nash, Hall, Booker, and Bischoff would be moving more units than Rey, DDP, Steiner, and Warrior. I personally wouldn’t have done Hogan as the early bird, but I don’t think it’s a bad figure. Many of us have been wanting a pre-nWo WCW ring-gear Hogan for a long time. And they just released one of those Hogans in the new Legends line.

Steve, I am respectfully asking you and your team if you would reconsider not punishing those who are early backers of the NITRO SET by removing Hulk for us? Last time, what put me over was during the campaign, you decided to throw in Macho Man and the announcer's table. I was on the fence before that ... and that made me jump in because I didn't want to lose out on him. Would you please reconsider this by adding a few days and changing the bonus for those in? I think we will get there, which will be great for you and us ... but taking away something might jeopardize this. I appreciate your consideration. Jesus, at least keep your dignity man

I'd really love to know what the international orders are like compared to the New Generation ring - they must be down obviously, but maybe we are over-estimating how big our contribution was in the first one? I mean they must have known that this new approach would kill some of their main international markets, so is it just the case that the numbers were so small that it didn't matter to them? Even so then things like including the shipping surcharge in the headline price rather than in the shipping cost where it belongs is just nonsensical - I've never known a store that inflates it's ticket price with something that they could've "hidden" at a later stage. Last time I was going onto UK sports forums that had WWE threads and pitching the New Gen ring to others at $250 and telling them how much Macho Man figures go for on the secondary market - how on earth can I do that with a £500 headline figure to work with? Im not sure they gave it a lot of thought as this scamming was instituted site wide quite a few months ago. At £500 as a reseller you’d have to hope each of these would hit £100, just to see any kind of profit selling the stage and that’s if it’s fully backed. And who the hell is gonna pay £100 for a Hogan rerelease? Apparently NatureBoyFauser

I'm really surprised by the lack of any sort of surge today - never guaranteed it would've been enough to hit 5k, but I wasn't expecting this level of dead. I think it’s partly because there’s no individual pressure. I don’t need to back today to get Hogan as long as everyone it gets to 5k. One of the big mistakes of the campaign.

Each hour that goes by it increases exponentially, an the people per hour have already gone down by about 50% from this morning - these sort of things need momentum - the initial rush died out very quick and there’s been zero momentum since then First it was “wait til Friday when people get pay checks” which turned into “wait til mania weekend” which turned into “wait until the hogan deadline” I may be naturally cynical but this things is on a wing and a prayer and that’s not being pessimistic but realistic. People can’t keep shifting when they think the rush full one snd hope it will happen. we’ll get to a hour left needing 2500+ and people will say “give it half hour and the rush will start”

Maybe this failing so badly will make Mattel do something to fix the issues. If it crosses 5k today they’ll have got away with the international scamming and the hogan rerelease. They should go back to the drawing board after today. Offer up a Macho Man HH ‘96 as a 1 week actual early bird. After that nobody gets Macho. Fix the scamming and they’ll be in business. I'd really love to know what the international orders are like compared to the New Generation ring - they must be down obviously, but maybe we are over-estimating how big our contribution was in the first one? I mean they must have known that this new approach would kill some of their main international markets, so is it just the case that the numbers were so small that it didn't matter to them?

Good question. I funded the New Generation ring but being in Canada this WCW stage is not worth the $743 CAD I would be forced to pay all in. That is about $115 CAD over the $400 US currency exchange. And I would have liked to own that Hogan with the new WCW belt too. For that price it comes down to a months rent or a WCW stage with UE Rey Mysterio.

I don't understand the joy some people get seeing stuff taken away from others. If you won't want it, cool but enjoying others misery is stupid.

I think price is hurting this a lot. I’m only backing one where as I got 2 next gen almost for the same price. I just wanted to support the first crowd fund. As much as I’d love to get 2 of these I just can’t afford it
