If there never was an issue with international shipping this crowdfund would have a significant more amount of backers and momentum, which would lead to more people backing it, it’s now at the point where it seems dead in the water with zero momentum, there’s not really any point dropping that amount of money right now when the project doesn’t look like it’ll get anywhere near close to being funded How do you feel about the work around of having a “purchaser partner” here in the US get it shipped to their house and then you pay for shipping internationally once they receive it? I’m not dropping that amount of money to someone I don’t know

There have been no ads for it, no marketing, nothing. They announce it during the biggest wrestling weekend of the year and don’t run an ad during either night of the show! That was mind boggling to me. WWE hasn’t even mentioned it during any of their programming. A crowdfund doomed to fail from the beginning if you’re not going to actually promote it. Hey that’s not fair. They got Sam Roberts and they had a QR code on a sign.

A little update on Scott Steiner’s development process from Design. If funded, final product WILL have some additional deco/logos in addition to the star. We’re looking at his late March 98 gear roughly that would give the figure an additional graphic in the star plus the text logos on front and back. No Superman logos of course. All pending licensor approval but that’s the latest plan. That's great. Since he wore the Superman logo on a number of his other looks too, are you guys thinking of doing something similar? Maybe the S without the border detail around it?

If this gets funded - just think of all the cool stuff that could come once the tooling for this type of thing could be established, just thinking about smackdown fist and other awesome stuff (maybe iconic ppv sets and stuff too?)

Man I still can't get over how great that stage looks. I really REALLY hope it gets funded at least to unlock the minimum to get the stage.

I’m hoping Steve and Rob have booked podcasts and other media appearances going into the final couple weeks like they did with New Gen and the Early Bird. I wanna say that was one of the biggest things that helped get that final push. I know they have their jobs and personal lives and did this sorta thing on their own time but Steve is really good at PR and hyping up the product and Rob also did a great job in getting the word out.

They need to be on Logan. Paul's podcast talk about his upcoming figure and can plug the crowdfund too

I'm not saying anyone should listen to me for what to do with their money...however, I don't think people grasp what kind of impact this can have on future products... But, so be it...I have lost almost all confidence that this gets backed at this point

What an amazing video and that’s not even the full stage it looks perfect with the slim configuration mode. The people complaining about space I think that shows us it can fit on most shelves and doesn’t necessarily take up that much room as compared to other large items in collections

If it’s not for you for whatever reason, then it’s not for you. But I do wonder if something like the Raw is War stage is something you’re really wanting then where is your mind at? This thing needs to fund if there’s any hope for a AE stage in the future. I’m not sure what I would do in this scenario. I think I’d probably bite the bullet and back it and then figure out what to do with it when it arrives. Not saying that what others should do but just thinking out loud.

Use the platform to make their own using the included trussing or sell the stage for a profit in a few months.
