But the cost to ship it overseas isn’t free and is a lot more than the £9 flat rate. It’s a giant heavy box they’re sending over there. That’s the extra costs. If they shipped it to you at the same price they were charging domestically they’d be losing money on shipping costs. They probably took a major hit with New Gen which is why they made the adjustment this time around. International customers understand it's not free to ship to the UK, but the mark up covers way more than it should do. The stage in the US $400 (£325 approx) The stage in the UK £509 ($637) $237 dollars apparently includes the duties, tax and shipping. That's £189. Customs would be approximately £65. I'm telling you right now it does not cost £124 to ship that stage from the US to the UK so International customers are paying way more for the same product. I've tried to break that down as simply as possible so hopefully some in the thread realise where the anger is coming from outside of the US. That being said, I'm still hopeful it gets backed for those who want it. Not my bag WCW, but would back if it was better value for us in the UK. I did with New Gen and that's still in the shipper haha This is my breakdown that got buried a few pages ago. I think it's more accurate than the other one doing the rounds personally, so hopefully members can see where we're coming from.

We spoke & they listened? They’re watching us right now. Mattel Creepers, can we get these figures made to order @ $45/each without the stage?

It's a shame that the numbers don't seem to be moving much at all. I really thought that adding Steiner would give it a strong boost.

If anyone is on the fence about it, I recommend go back and watch some old nitros, just see how badass the stage looks. And how sick it would look in our displays full of figures 🔥🔥

Followed by Steiner. As for the rest figures they are icing on the cake. But the figures/attires are perfect for the stage. They’ll be unique to this project which is fine, because you know Mattel will more than likely release better detailed versions of everyone in the crowdfunded set in the regular UE line.

And how sick it would look in our displays full of figures 🔥🔥 That's one of the things I'm interested in. Putting my Dean Malenko, Arn Anderson, Harlem Heat and a few others on that stage. It's kind of cool to put all the figures that you've accumulated over the years with the final piece to the price puzzle. I think at this point we've almost gotten ever single big name there was to be signed. I think Vampiro is probably the biggest name out there not to have a WWE figure ever. I wish his new figure was in scale with Mattel's line.

I thought it would give it a bigger boost for sure, but I guess a lot of people have a similar mindset that this is too big and too expensive. I would normally love this but I cannot display it anywhere, even in its smaller state.

If this gets funded, I really don't see it going much past the first tier. It might make it to the DDP tier if there is a big number of backers towards the end date. So, I wouldn't mind Hogan, DDP and that Warrior being made in the regular UE line, or even the MNW Ultimate Edition line. If they can't do them as Ultimate figures, at least do them as elites.

Hell, I would welcome it.

Also, wouldn't they need the UE line to do the new tooling for Warrior's legs and pelvic area?

This stage is still so cool to see in the pictures! Hopefully this will get funded otherwise we'll be stuck with it in the wrestling figure wasteland of unreleased potential, and probably never to have something like this offered to us ever again. I'm still hopeful in the end.

Also, wouldn't they need the UE line to do the new tooling for Warrior's legs and pelvic area? For DDP they can maybe add the stomach bandage or put him in his jeans that everyone seems to want. And it looks like for Warrior they already did the tooling for this set. So if it doesn’t reach his tier just release that with more accessories in the regular UE line. Hell, if it doesn’t reach their tiers then maybe think about releasing all the tiers not unlocked as shown in the UE line. But don’t come in here as this is still live asking time to just sell the figures without the stage. All that’s doing is hurting this project. Especially when they start it by saying “We” because he doesn’t speak for me. Only people in neon cowboy hats get to do that.

I love this whole project, but let's be honest. The figures have a chance to be made in a regular line up. This stage is a one and done and people don't seem to understand that. The last time we got a Nitro stage it was in the late 90's early 2000s. There has been nothing of that caliber released thus far, especially if you were a WCW fan. It's a dream come true. Let's worry about this thing getting funded first. Ultimately, I wanted everything to be included, but if that doesn't happen... Then Scotty and Rey Rey will do. I know I did my part by backing this project and being vocal by spreading links etc. If you're not backing it's fine, but at least spread the word and share the link. This is a community, so let's get it together and make it happen Wfigs family.

“Wcw stage, take my money” - doesn’t mean put out a stage and I’ll buy it. It means if a stage is out out at s price which makes sense to me and I’m personally in a position where it’s possible. That's literally every thing put up for sale ever.

Are we really back to "initial hype and demand constitutes a contractual obligation to purchase upon availability" again? The other day I saw a 2023 model car I'd have liked to own. I got into the office, looked it up, saw "starting at $26k" and said "ha, nevermind". Thank God none of the local dealerships heard me.
