I believe Steve said in the podcast tonight that these figures are exclusive to this stage offering and they won’t be produced if the stage fails. Even as Elites? I'd love to have that Rey even if only as an Elite. Only as ultimates. All these figs could be made as elites or basics.

hopefully we get Stiener and DDP down the road. would love them as UE. I believe Steve said in the podcast tonight that these figures are exclusive to this stage offering and they won’t be produced if the stage fails. I think he just means the figures in these attires as Ultimate Editions. To be honest though, it's not really a big deal... there'll most likely be another (better) UE Steiner and DDP. And the others can easily be done as Elites, RSC exclusives or even Defining Moments figures (Warrior).

No, a company being less transparent while holding hundreds of its customer's dollars will not end well and would discourage people from backing if anything. they’re not holding your money Alright bet, send me over 400 dollars and I'll promise to give it back to you, but if I hit an arbitrary goal you have no idea if I'm telling the truth about I'll it back and I'll send you the entire RSC Wolfpac set (or whatever else you could imagine you'd pay 400 dollars for). If it makes it any better you can pay in 4 and send me parts of it and if I don't reach the goal I'll send it back in a month. Lmk if you'd take that deal.

Why put an unnecessary hold on your card for hundreds of dollars for something that might not even pan out? People don't feel any pressure to back till the last day and if it's nowhere close then they probably won't back at all. That's why the early bird execution matters so much, it gives you 3 days where people feel compelled to back rather than just the day it starts and the day it ends. it doesn't work that way lol... It pre-charges and then disappears lol...there is no hold Re-read what I said, I did not say put a hold on your card, I said they would be holding your money IE they can charge it (or already have started with pay in 4) while have no proof if they met certain goals. It could reach 11k backers, they'll charge you and only send everyone the set with Rey and Steiner and you'd be none the wiser.

To those of you who said “don’t worry the new gen fund went the same way” have you come to reality yet?
Yes I know the new gen was at something like 2,300 with 12 days left, we are currently 9 days left with a tad over 2,100 I know it’s only a few hundred off and a few days off but that’s not what I’m trying to convey here
To those who are showing the similarities between backers at roughly the same time left between the new gen and nitro stage, let’s not forget macho man had nearly 3 days left at the time that comparison picture was taken with 12 days left for the new gen fund, there was hope that people would stop procrastinating on getting this because if they did any longer macho would not be available, ultimately that’s what pushed this new gen set over the edge
With the nitro stage there is no hope to look forward to for a large spike in backers, what you see is what you get
Listen I really hope I am wrong cause I want to see this get released as I’ve said before, if I see a glimmer of hope that this might reach 5k I’ll back it, but for now it dose not seem anywhere near getting backed unfortunately

I got this ad on Insta and the thing that jumped out to me is the number of views, it has over 13k views and the project only has 16% of that number in backers. Obviously it's been advertised elsewhere on Twitter and stuff but putting it in to that perspective feels crazy.

The similarities with this end at them both being crowdfunding campaigns.

Could Mattel be holding back the true number of backers from us?
And they release the real number at the end to see it shoot up?

You LITERALLY SAID: "Why put an unnecessary hold ON YOUR CARD for hundreds of dollars for something that might not even pan out?" 🤦🏻♂️ Let me repeat myself...there is NO HOLD. Mattel has NONE of my money for the Nitro Stage...not a single cent is on my credit card, as a charge, pending charge, or hold. They do not have my money, and won't until the end... Wtf are you talking about, it could hit 11k and they only send Rey and the Stage?

I'd love to have that Rey even if only as an Elite. If the stage doesn't get made the Ultimates will probably be released in the future imo. If there is money to be made Mattel will be all over it like all the re-releases we have been seeing.

With respect, I don't think it has... whatever way you look at it, we're being overcharged - plus we have to pay the import fees now/up-front ( and there's no payment plans to soften the blow). The really obvious and easy solution is to just charge international/UK people the cost price ($400), plus the shipping to their country - no upfront import fees... no hidden costs... Simple (it's how they did it last time with the New Gen set too). For whatever reason though, Mattel seem reluctant to do this. 🤷♂️ there had to be some reason that they changed it this time around, it has to benefit them somehow Yeah, it benefits them by charging a higher amount than it would cost for them to pay all the shipping/fees up front. Therefore we customers pay more, they pocket a small amount. That's how they're benefitting from it.

This is performing way worse than new gen at this point in time when you compare.
It’s also radically more expensive, you’re getting less for your money, and they’ve totally killed the ability for international buyers.
This thing will 100% get less backers than the new gen did. So you can immediately kiss everything past DDP goodbye.
It’s actually shocking how badly mattel have fumbled this and really they owe an apology to international buyers for scamming them.

Could Mattel be holding back the true number of backers from us? And they release the real number at the end to see it shoot up? Not sure what that would accomplish. Seeing it this far away from its production goal is probably causing a lot of people to pass up as they feel it is a lost cause at this point. If Mattel were understating the amount of backers, it wouldn't be smart as the only way this thing will see any momentum or a spike is when people feel its within striking distance.

Yeah that must be it I really thought the Bargaining Phase had hit rock bottom with "Mattel should just send everyone who backed the stage regardless of if it hits 5k to reward those who supported them", but "Mattel is hiding the real number of backers to surprise us" is up there.

What if the real Ultimate Edition WCW Monday Nitro Entrance Stage is the friends we made along the way?

Having seen Mattel's new Snake Mountain for Masters of The Universe at only $80 my feelings on value have completely changed on this.
