OFFICIAL Ultimate WCW Nitro Entrance Crowdfund Thread

that's absolutely not how this works...at all...

The Stage + Rey is $400...so the stage alone is ~$365-$370

The other figures are added as bonuses as more or sold

I'm not entirely sure the WCW Nitro stage was the right choice for the crowdfund. Let's face it the WWE brand is more synonymous in the wrestling world today and how many people remember WCW? especially the current fanbase?

If Mattel thought selling something at that price point with nostalgia being the only selling point to get this moving their going to be sorely mistaken at the lack of interest.

In my case I don't have the space, interest and at that price it's too high for something that is WCW related.

My personal preference would have been the Raw is War stage but at $400 I don't know if that would have done any better.

1,900 now.

I had the same thought, reselling would give you your money back and a sweet profit! HH is the only reason that I backed and will cancel if it doesn't hit 5k. I may wait until a little after in case it does fund and they let those that funded during the HH window get him anyway...

It’s getting some movement but I just don’t think we’ll see enough to get Hogan.

I went ahead and ordered it tonight. If you are at all on the fence, you might as well just do so tonight and worst case, you can cancel before the the campaign ends if you don't like the final offering.

That wasn’t ring gear, but still likely decreased interest in a pre-nWo Hogan.

It's an interesting thing to think about - we don't know the spread of nationalities with the New Gen arena of course so we are really guessing.

But Canada and the UK are almost certainly the next two biggest markets after the US and they are affected by the pricing BS. Seems like there would be some business there for Mattel, including buyers of multiple sets given the value of the secondary market here in the UK at least.

I think Germany and France are covered as well, who I'm sure provided some New Gen buyers - the Germans especially.

I think the Irish and Australians are able to order in USD though, so it'd be interesting to know how their orders performed compared to the New Gen arena.

And another thing that could need to be considered might be orders from the importer businesses like here in the UK who buy big quantities from Ringside to resell here - how would they have acted if they had had a $400 plus shipping price to pay rather than $630? Ringside aren't investing in this but other companies might have in different circumstances - there are at least three with that sort of business model who might've taken the opportunity this time.

But we'll never know.

Moving merch no more 😞😞😞
