Backers still on the rise If by on the rise you mean 10 or so a day (if even) then sure. It needs 473.6 a day including today.

Think it looks fine displayed with the ring. Not picking either side. People can definitely express their criticisms. A lot of this thread is really just the same thing repeated over and over again with no real progress. If you can’t afford it or don’t see the value in it, that’s understandable. If you’re upset with the international thing, I get it. Posting about it every day seems tiresome, but you do you boo boo. The poor thing is a solid meme. Duckman repeating himself over and over again essentially reminds me of Donnie saying “I am the walrus” in the background. I hope it succeeds for those that want it. It still has a chance to. We will see. Yeah, it looks pretty good... the problem is that together it's all just so big that it must be very difficult to take accurate photos. The issue with the ring being "too big" is probably down to it being in the foreground, with the stage in the background (look how small the figures look - and we all know the size of them). There should probably be more space between the end of the ramp-way and the ring too.

Sorry I mentally checked out in getting it when I saw the £500 price tag. I didn't bother saving up for it.

That thing is massive. I know how big that ring is because I have the previous two. They’re big rings. Weirdly enough, that picture makes it look small, but it’s just the weird way our eyes perceive things. If you’ve tried to find space for the Ultimate rings or just put it on the floor and sat next to it to fiddle with it, you get the sense for how big that stage really is. It’s going to be massive in-hand. It dwarfs the New Gen arch and that the thing seemed much bigger in person compared to the advertising.

Backed 4, have tried avoiding this thread based on all the nonsensical suggestions and things of that nature (yes, including everyone complaining - and no, it’s not “constructive criticism” or warranted complaints if you aren’t even interested in backing the item. That’s like staying at the same store and comparing to all who walk buy the reasons you won’t buy the item. Not for you? The move along). But I’m ready for this thing to be over. Select members constant negativity has really just sucked the fun out of this thing. I’d be willing to bet the majority of this thread is people, who have stated they aren’t buying, just beating a dead horse and relating the same thing and wording it differently. Out of your price range/international customers/don’t personally see the value in it - that’s fine. Seems crazy to keep drumming up the same thing page after page though. First it’s too big, then it’s too small when they post pictures with the ring. Saying they want to see it posed with the ring, then posted with the ring and it’s false advertising. Can’t win for trying with some people.Bravo to Steve and the team, the items is beautiful and definitely a collectors dream. They listens and made the pivot they could adding Steiner. Making podcast appearances and even still coming to this place (for some reason 🙄). Friday will be interesting, for those wanting the stage (myself included) let’s hope it surges in the final 48. Man alive... talk about blowing things out of all proportion, lol. Only one person mentioned false advertising... me. And that was because - as I've already mentioned - I didn't know where the photo was from (and that Steve had posted it). So yes, it appeared like it was false advertising. People just latch on to things though, I guess 🤷♂️. True they’re very sensitive to any criticism and they’re very upset that this is failing so badly. Sad because it is an awesome item.

People just latch on to things though, I guess 🤷♂️. I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t even know you’re the one who said it. That being said, I’ve seen it on Twitter also when discussing what comes with the offering. But if that’s the only thing you got from my post so be it. My point still stands, this place will find the ONE thing they can to complain about no matter what is done to rectify previous complaints. When you are asking for almost 500 dollars for something, there's going to be heavy criticism. Honestly I don't think there would be nearly as much blow back as there has been if people like Cardona didn't say dumb craplike we should all stop collecting if it doesn't get backed and that if you don't back it you are just poor. This is a discussion board, no one is gonna circle jerk about how great the stage is for 200 pages.

Cardona is the biggest D-Bag in professional wrestling. his opinion neither helps or hurts the project, i backed two of these but unfortunately i think we can stick a fork in it

He has a huge following that clap like seals on command usually and he also had a huge contingent of anti-fans who hate him. He tried rallying his troops to back but the cost is too high and his anti-fans just enjoy seeing it blow up in his face. If Cardona didn't have influence BCAs wouldn't be as pricey as they are now.

Bingo. The price of the inverted color Kane BCA skyrocketed on account of the "totally random" bidding war he and Meyers got into over it that pushed the final bid into triple digits. It was an in-demand figure to begin with, but it was never at that level til they pulled that little stunt for show content.

I hope it still gets funded because the Mattel team put so much effort into it that it deserves it and also because it will help future WWE Mattel crowd funding projects to go ahead. It's a great size playset.

Man if this gets funded that toybiz inspired packaging would look so sick.
