I dreamt about the stage last night lol. No figures with it, just the entrance itself. Thing was massive. I was playing with the light functions and couldn’t believe I actually had it in my possession - and without paying for it. I thought I was an influencer or something. It was great. Mattel has infiltrated my most private thoughts and I can’t decide if I should seek help or place my order already. Man, Mattel is really living rent free in there, huh?

Guys, seriously, it’s over
This thing is not getting backed, having this long of a discussion about something that’s clearly not getting backed is senseless
I wish it would, but 1 person a day now is backing this, international buyers to be honest even if the fees wasn’t a problem it still wouldn’t get backed, I’m not sure if international buyer make up more than half of the US sales cause that’s what they would need, but maybe I’m wrong??
Less than 2,100 people backed this item and that’s with some international people sprinkled in, the US is not doing their part in backing, it’s just not a strong enough product
I wish they would cancel this now and give us a new crowd fund super quick, I think we know now anything non wwf/wwe will not get funded

I would do the same. Basically what I was asking re: if they ordered them to someone in the states to resend. This is a smart idea I can see all the charge backs and cancellations now. Some good deed do er ending up with multiple sets because the buyers dont want to pay the shipping fees and all the other fees. This wont be cheap for an individual to send off over seas, how well or successful are people selling off new gen stages out of the country?

No more crowdfunds for the WWE crowd from Mattel. The next one will be the Raw set, but only if this succeeds. And that WILL be more than this. I am hoping that as we get closer to the end,then it picks up a bit. Still keeping the faith!

This wont be cheap for an individual to send off over seas, how well or successful are people selling off new gen stages out of the country? I’m assuming on prior understanding of what the shipping fees will be from US (from their WF purchasing partner) - if they know that going in I don’t see any reason for concern about this idea Also assuming oversea buyer is covering all shipping and related charges and assuming it will be cheaper than current setup of buying directly from mattel (which is where this solution started I think)

They commented on how long they’ve spent, years, working through the ins and out of planning this set and perfecting the product for its roll out. It’s not just as simple as “cancel this and give us something else quicker” Christ sake, it still has 19 days left even. As someone who was around for the New Gen from the get go, it’s going exactly how that one went. Wait and see during the final 48-72 hours. That generally will tell you what you need to know. Until then it’s just a wait and see.

Even with Macho’s inclusion it didn’t hit 5k until the final day he was available. Then it hit 5k on the day the Macho promotion ended. And then it kept soaring upward knocking down every single tier, breaking 8k until the promotion ended. Then there were a few hundred more backers after Macho Man expired.

I never once doubted if the new gen set was gonna get backed, I believe it was backed before macho tier ended, I don’t remember much of how the new gen set went, I remember I was a little worried about the last tier being met but that was it, I hope your right cause I’d like to have one, I just don’t see this moving much anymore sadly, I really just hate that a crowd fund was wasted

I love the concept, backed the project and wanted it to succeed, but I also live in reality. There is no way this hits. Even after adding one of thee most wanted characters to the base tier it still doesn’t move 100 units over the weekend. Sadly, I feel this project is lost. Steve has to be wondering what else he has to do to make the community happy. Sadly, they got over confident and way over estimated the market for this. The last crowdfund barely hit with seconds to go in the early bird and hardly moved anymore units after that. Even remotely thinking this could hit 9-11k is a pipe dream and I don’t know what Mattel and the gang were smoking. First impressions are everything and sadly they just won’t be able to recover from their botched rollout.

I can just imagine the display now taking all the WCW championships we have been getting over the past few year's and displaying those titles on figures we choose then placing them on this stage! Would be such an amazing show piece and center piece. I hope it becomes a reality.

Kinda crazy how little adding Steiner has moved the needle thus far.

Was listening to the latest Major Pod and they’ve been surprisingly not as invested in promoting this. They really pushed the New Gen crowdfund and like it or not, they have a big voice in the collecting community. I know they have a lot going on between the overpriced pro wrestling tees mystery crate and the amazing looking but sure to be over priced Big Rubber Guys. I just wish they would pitch in more.

Has it been mentioned on how much this item weighs? As big as this is, it's got to be very expensive to ship.

I’ve been going through my old New Gen Arena Megathread posts. Macho’s deadline was August 13, U.S. time. By August 12, 6:52 PM, I said, “I think once it finally hits 5k and people know it’s getting made, there’s gonna be a huge push to Doink. I hope if it hits 5k blah blah blah.” So the night before the Macho Man deadline, it didn’t even hit 5k backers. Doink was 7k, ring skirts were 8k. Arena wasn’t even funded yet.
10 PM Aug 12 and it was at 67%. Macho deadline expired Aug 13, 9 PM PST (so midnight EST) Aug 13, 5:30AM EST and still wasn’t funded. 1:30 PM, still not funded. 92% 10 minutes later. Aug 13, 3:10 PM EST and it’s funded with 9 hours until the Macho Deadline. Doink unlocked 9:17 PM EST(7k units). 11:59 PM EST, the deadline for Macho Man, and the final tier unlocks with 8k units.
The project and all tiers unlocked on the final day that Macho Man was made available. I think the Nitro Stage gets funded by its deadline.

There’s way too much that doesn’t add up for the high cost for international buyers and it’s obviously not right. -if shipping is 60 and baked into the cost, why are we paying an extra £9 when we check out? -why are we being charged taxes a year before we need to pay them? -even if we’re paying taxes now, it should amount to £462 in total. Why are we paying £38 more? -£462 would have been in line with the £470 price that was originally listed at. Before it jumped a mysterious £30. They have not been transparent, they’re overcharging no matter what angle you look at it. That is why this has failed. These are such great points. We're already paying MUCH more for the set, so yes - an extra $40/50/60 does matter. Would all the US peeps be OK if Mattel contacted everyone who's backed it and said "we'll have to charge you an extra $50... just because"? Also, along with having to pay extra for the shipping (which is understandable), we are having to pay all the import fees upfront too... and have no price-plan options either. Some people don't think the stage is worth $400 or is a lot to suddenly ask people for? Try $631. It's an even bigger ask. Even if they could just do things like last time where we pay the $ price (or £ equivalent) plus shipping, it would help - as we wouldn't have the extra customs/import charge until next year when it's ready for delivery. This whole thing just seems like a mess - and something Mattel Creations should have sorted out before the backing started.

A key element for me is who exactly will be shipping it to the UK after last times debacle with the Gambia incident with the previous shipper.
