Damn after listening to Steve on that second interview he posted today it sounds like the announcers table was going to possibly be included but the price would have made this thing a little higher. Makes me wonder if the fans weren’t so critical of the tiers not being figures if we could of eliminated few of these figs in this crowdfund and got the announcers table 🤔 However, Steve said they don’t necessarily like to throw away ideas so this may be released down the line if situation is right. Another possible incentive to back this thing for sure! Cause if this doesn’t get backed I wouldn’t see them going out there way to offer the table in future releases. The announce table and the Bischoff Ultimate, to me, at least, is a much more appealing notion than the Hogan, Rey, or Warrior here.

I think you’re right man if they offered that I think other people on the fence would have jumped quicker now we have to wait till final days which is risky but I still think it gets backed! However, let’s be real after the last fund people were all over Steve and Mattel about adding more tiers and we need more ultimate figures instead of ring skirts, exc and Mattel listened but of course now people are complaining about specific figs smh I see why they did it how they did but that announcers table would have been HUGE for this crowdfund

That said, I still spend stupid amounts of money on this hobby, and a lot of that is driven by "completion" - I've bought way too many figures I didn't want to complement figures I did. To me, the New Gen set felt very "complete", regardless of which figures were included: you got the ring, the stage, and by a stroke of luck, even the announce table consistent with the period represented. Obviously the ring gets cut here due to the sheer size of the stage, but it's in the pipeline, and I think that the knowledge that a ring was on the way, combined with a reconfigured offering that either included the announce table (which was a really unique set piece in its own right during WCW's prime) at the base level or as an early tier goal, with less but more in demand figures, would have moved the needle on this a lot more than it has so far.

Announce table with the flame mats and a ultimate figure

I agree totally. Having the announcers table at a base level or first tier gets this funded earlier on in the campaign. As it looks now we will get 2 figures at base if funded which is totally awesome but dang an announcers table at let’s say 7k would have moved that needle. But Mattel was trying to please the overwhelming crowd who prefer “more ultimates” which baffles me because do the fans not realize we can get more figs in various ways already provided by Mattel whether they be elite or ultimate form? A crowdfund is implemented to provide us with items NOT NECESSARILY able to make it to retail because they are unique collectors items for the true die hard fans. And I respect your honesty as you don’t necessarily need this Stage but see that just figures alone as tiers is hurting the project and other types of tiers would have helped. In the end can’t blame Steve or Mattel cause they were just listening to the overwhelming feedback of more figures as tiers smh

Announce table with the flame mats and a ultimate figure Oh that’s a wonderful idea for sure. Maybe later down I can see them working this out with Ringside due to the fact that Ringside is offering an AEW setup very similar at the moment. Would love to see something like this for Nitro and Raw as well

I don’t think an announce table would have helped. It would’ve increased the set up size (most likely)

Would have been great to have LWO Guerrero added to the Tiers instead of Ultimate Warrior.

Went ahead and canceled my nitro order.
Figure, if I can't get the WCW figs from Walmart (since they just canceled my Nash) why fund the stage. No point since I can't display it with no figures.

This crowd find just can’t get any momentum going for it. First Pastamania didn’t work out so we ended up with a Hogan very similar to the Amazon Exclusive. Then he didn’t get funded and Steiner was added. Steiner got a couple orders but it’s 10 days later and it didn’t manage to even hit 100 orders since adding him.
Now Walmart (the home of the MNW line) is canceling orders for the Ruthless Aggression line only angering consumers more because they have no confidence in being able to obtain said MNW figures.
It’s unfortunate but it’s just been one thing after another for an item of a company most wrestling fans stopped watching over 20 years ago. There are a number of factors effecting this none of which are good.

I'm gonna end up with a Nitro Ring and an Ultimate Bischoff to show for the entire line lol

I love the entrance - the whole thing. Sad, it has stalled. Appreciate the efforts to add Steiner upfront ... hoping Mattel has one more trick up their sleeves.
