Im mildly interested in the entrance stage but nothing else. The banners and figures do nothing for me.

That's cool and all but all those you named besides Bischoff and maybe Booker have countless figures as well. People were complaining about Luger being in the legends line recently let alone being an ultimate.... With that, people are saying some of the ultimates in this set are boring and you want another Luger that would check the box of a boring ultimate. Makes sense. As far as general consensus, most people aren't interested in an ultimate Luger or Luger himself in for that matter... So not sure if he'd "put butts in seats" for this project. The only UE Nash is in the new gen set as Diesel, UE NWO Scott Hall to go with Nash is a no brainer, we've never had a UE Booker or even a singles WCW Booker in any form IIRC, Luger has potential not because of the look but the accessories. He could come with a regular NWO shirt, Wolfpac shirt, WCW tag title(s), big gold, etc things really relevant to the set. The only NWO representation in this set being Steiner which doesn't even have the NWO logo (as far as I've seen in pics could be wrong) is wild. I'm talking in general. Alot of people are fine just having an Elite version of Lex and others and don't care about upgrading to Ultimate versions, therefore a boring Ultimate Lex, again, would not make this list more enticing for most. Yeah, UE versions of Nash of Hall would be cool, but they didn't do it for reasons we don't know. |

I have a feeing we'll be getting an UE Hall & Nash pretty soon though... 😎 |

I remember asking Steve about an UE Nash having a variant whenever they decide to put one out. He said that was a solid idea. That way those who want a red Nash get one and we could another '96-97 black with red tassels singlet Nash. We definitely need Hall in his black and red trunks with black boots. Man, this is bringing the nostalgia. I remember going back to YouTube a couple of years back just to look at attires and events I didn't get to experience when I was collecting as a kid.

I see people saying Steve said nothing is getting added because they already reached budget. But if Hogan ends up not getting backed, would that not free up some of the budget since they no longer would have to produce that figure?

First thing I’m doing with the stage is buying 100 sparklers and fire crackers and recreating Kevin Nash’s entrance

It really does suck for UK/international people though - if you also add on the £17 "official" shipping, you're paying approx. $237 extra for shipping and customs fees - which is more than half the thing costs in the first place... 😬 |

Mattel saw everyone complaining about being charged a phantom £80 and decided it wasn’t enough! £110😂

I've had someone offer me their Rey should this get backed so now I'm 100% satisfied I have no need to back this.
I've made customs of DDP and Steiner I'm more than happy with. I have no need for that Hogan or Warrior and the stage would have lived in the box 99% of time.
Dissapponted as its long overdue WCW getting some much needed love. I'm just going to go rebuy the toybiz one and be happy with that!

How are you seeing the price for UK?
I’m in Australia so I’d like to see what I would be paying.

I've just checked and unfortunately the site doesn't have a price for Australia - they have US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Japan. They do have a "rest of the world" option - but when you select it, it just goes to the US one... 🤷♂️ |
