I understand how it works I just feel like a set group of items, set price, and set minimum backing amount would do better. I totally could be wrong about it but I’m just giving an opinion too basically. I just personally don’t see it hitting 11k and if doesn’t I see a lot of people backing out not thinking it’s worth it which will cause the numbers to drop You don’t understand how it works. The set group of items IS the stage and Rey. Everything else is extra. With your scenario, the set group of items would be the stage and all five figures for X dollars with 11,000 backers. But if you reach a certain amount of excess backers, then you could produce another (6th figure). It’s the same scenario. You just don’t like the base offering. And that’s perfectly fine. That’s your opinion, you’re entitled to it, and you absolutely do not have to back this if you don’t think it’s worth it. However, don’t say you understand because they are doing what youre saying. They literally established a set group, set price, and set minimum. Stop trying to explain something that I already understand regardless if you think I do or not. I understand Rey and the stage are the base. I understand the extra figures are bonuses. I am not at all saying you’re wrong. My suggestion was to make all the figures and the stage the base, for a set price and a set amount of backers for either it all to be made or for none of it to be made. I feel this would make it more worth it and easier to get backed. People have literally said, “I’m not backing until it hits x amount.” and this is part of the reason Hogan didn’t get unlocked. Rey and the stage are not worth $400; yes, that is my opinion but it’s the opinion of a lot of others, too.

Seriously…I’ve been here a while and I’m not sure I’ve heard a worse idea It’s wrestlingfigs logic 🤣 worse than Steiner math. Shoot, worse than last weeks Raw. Brother Love here loves everyone, but even I blocked that user cause most of the posts are argumentative and insufferable 😣

If you say “We are only releasing this at 11k backers and it includes everything, and if it doesn’t reach 11k none of it gets made.” it’s not getting made. It has a chance to get made at 5k backers with only a couple of backers.

Rey and the stage are not $400; yes, that is my opinion but it’s the opinion of a lot of others, too. Ok, but for one thing, the crowdfund isn’t for the figures. It’s for the stage. Second, like someone else asked, if you don’t think we are getting to 11,000 then why make the minimum 11,000. That is a high number to make as your minimum for something this large and this expensive. Also, an all or nothing is simply not how a crowdfund works. Or at least it’s missing some of the perks and what makes it fun. Like I said earlier, if you make all five figures and stage the base with a minimum of 11,000 backers, then what do you do if you reach 13,000? Do you not offer the supports something extra? Like Steve explained, more revenue gives the company the opportunity to give us another offering. In your situation, you’d be offering nothing else. What is the incentive to keep going? And trust me, with all the complaints I see in this thread, people would be complaining left and right that there aren’t more offerings. They’d be saying that Mattel is taking all the profit blah blah. The majority of crowdfunds and kickstarts are run this way. Offer something exclusive that most likely wouldnt be affordable to make at retail and incentivize to gain more backers.

Is anyone else watching old episodes of Nitro?
I’m currently on July 8, 1996. This is the episode with Rey in the crowdfund attire.
If watching Nitro can’t get you excited for this set then nothing will. Size, price, tiers and backers aside, this set is absolutely stunning.

There are some of us that would still want the stage (the main item) even if it only includes Rey.

But it obvious he only cares that it’s not worth it to him. So he doesn’t get it

Steve, don’t listen to anyone. Keep Rey right where he is. Unless I'm misunderstanding things, Rey will stay where he is... the poll is for another (guaranteed) figure to be added - so you'll get that figure, Rey and the stage for $400.

I’d say yes..Scratch Hogan. Rey is still in and add one of the other figures into the base. Then drop the tiers..so likely it’s Rey and Steiner at 5k. Ddp still at 7k. And then Warrior at 9k and that’s all she wrote

I just see a lot of people saying Warrior should swap places with Rey. I also know he won’t do that.

Also I know the Rey is plain. But it's a important attire cas it was his wcw debut which I feel is needed in fig form. And if the debut fan takeover wins. It would be cool to display both together side by side

I could have sworn I didn't get charged any customs/duties fees on the New Gen arena. The base price on the website was in US dollars when I backed it, and then the charge appeared on my card it was in Canadian dollars. This time around, dollar conversion is factored in, and a bunch of duties/customs fees are already applied which is odd. Why didn't I get charged for those last time around but am being asked to pay them (by Mattel not the courier in my country) now? If this thing was available for just conversion, after shipping costs and tax it would come out to about $625 CAD which is a lot more palatable. As of right now, the crowdfund works out to just over $800 CAD after shipping/tax. This exactly. We (UK) were also charged the base dollar price for the New Gen set, plus shipping. Then we paid a Customs charge - as expected - when the set was being delivered. No hidden costs... we knew exactly what we were paying for. It really does seem so easy/simple to fix: charge everyone the same price ($400), plus the shipping to their country. Your card/bank will convert the currency, and you'll be charged a Customs/Import fee (according to your country's laws) when it's being delivered. That's it. 🤷♂️

Regardless if this gets backed I think we should give credit to Steve and the rest of the people working on this for actually attempting it in the first place and listening to all the feedback and trying to make it work.

I get why pump is the overwhelming leader in the vote but why is DDP second? People complaining about Hogan don’t have an issue for DDP being released in the same exact attire for the third time?
