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? I mean, I did cancel mine and before I did it was at 2,122 and after I got confirmation that it was cancelled, it was still at 2,122.

I'm mad at the $400 price because my daughters polly pocket playlet was only $45. Sure it's super small and the tooling required for the molding is really simple and it's not that detailed, but I'm pissed off regardless because daflakljhgahjlkvasdpioha;vewanlvjk

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. Honest question. Do you have ANY idea how credit cards work? Do you even have one? Let me try to explain how this works.........again...... 1. I back the project on my Visa Card 2. Mattel pre-charges $400+ tax to my card 3. It sits in my "pending transactions" for 2-3 business days 4. It falls off my card, never impacts my balance, Mattel never actually gets any money 5. IF the project gets funded, they will charge my card "for real" and the charge will post and now I'm going to have to pay it off. Until the project gets funded Mattel gets $0 (ZERO, ZILCH, NADDA, NOTHING). I kinda hope you're trolling....because if I'm honest, your lack of understanding of how this works is pretty embarrassing.

Yeah I agree it looks way more detailed, far more tooling I’d think for the details on the walls etc plus the intricacies of the hinges for the shell, gate etc there seems to be a lot more into it Interestingly they speak to the designer in pixel dans video snd he says it’s the playset “people have been asking for” and I agree. You can get this + they did greyskull for half the cost of the wcw stage. I’d be interesting to know how much the wcw stage would’ve been without lights. When you break down the tooling for the wcw stage, for example take the letters. That’s a W and a C mould, so the 2 moulds cover 6 big eye catching pieces. Compare that to the snake head snd body, the wolf head etc on snake mountain

Listen big dog, I get that you are really upset the thing you backed probably isn't gonna get funded, however being intentionally obtuse about something so clearly obvious is not the way to take out those feelings of frustration. We have talked about it a lot in this thread, anger is a natural stage of grief. I know it's disappointing, I'm sorry for you champ I really am, but you see that stickied New Gen Crowdfund thread? Why don't you go back and read it since you weren't around then, see if you recognize any names. Then come back and try again with someone else who cares what you think is embarrassing. Also how could I have a credit card? I'm too poor to have one.

A Little unrelated but what scale bike would fit with the bischoff? Would 1/12 do 1/10. I have a 1/12 bike for Undertaker and it’s too small. It looks like he’s riding a dirt bike designed to look like a chopper.
