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. 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. That's one of the weakest comebacks/rebuttals that I've ever seen.

Cool. On the odd chance it makes, you can sell me a Mysterio figure. I'll throw $40 plus shipping at it. That's the only thing of value to me I'm the entire set.

Steiner has moved 109 units since they adjusted the tiers.

Steiner has moved 109 units since they adjusted the tiers. Much like Mattel Creation's Eternia playset, when the original Early Bird period ended all momentum was lost. That one eventually funded, but didn't hit several tiers.

I say this with all sincerity and no trolling intended, but I'm actually shocked that there's not at least 5,000 people worldwide that want this.
There's still time for a last minute rush, but my gut is telling me that this is dead.

I think this will get a push into the 3-3.5 range in the last 36 hours. I’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t fund because it’s something that I’d really like to have, but the earth will continue spinning and that $400 will go elsewhere.🤷♂️

Without a fix to the international scamming i honestly doubt all 5 figures guaranteed could get this to 5k backers

If it does get close let's say 500-700 away, I could see mattel covering the rest and selling through MC. They would be an easy sell especially when we have these in person and fomo kicks in 4 peeps that didn't back. I would probably get 1 more. Later on. Since rn I only could purchase 1 at the moment

There's still time for a last minute rush, but my gut is telling me that this is dead. I think there's plenty of people who want it, they just can't afford it or think it's too expensive in today's economy. I still hope it succeeds hitting 5k, but it's not looking good right now.

I think it gets backed. Needs a little over 2,800 and I’m confident there’s at least 2,800 people who don’t want this to slip through their fingers.
I see hundreds of posts monthly of Figure hauls worth hundreds. I don’t think people are as timid with their spending on toys as some seem to think
