Here is what mattel should have done.
$300 for the entrance stage and include Eric Bischoff figure for 5k backers.
Then at 6k backers add Scott Stiener, 7k backers Nwo Hogan, 8k Nwo Kevin Nash, 9k backers Nwo Scott Hall Ultimates.
The other option i would have done is Wcw stage and elite scale ring for the $400 price and no figures.
I have to believe either of these options would have more than 2,174 Backers right now.
I am not going to listen to people who say mattel could not do that at that price point.
They literally pay there factory workers pennies on the dollar, get real.

Don't worry guys, at the end of this Mattel will say "gee golly wiz guys, thanks for believing in us. As a thank you we're going to give everyone that backed this project the stage even though it didn't hit the goal"

I think I may have said it before, but if they fail here I think they should drop the crowdfunds. Use MC to release exclusive figures like they did with Cody/Logan/Retros and then maybe small cheaper playsets. Any future crowdfunds are just going to run into the same problem with pricing, unreal expectation from customers, and tons of “OH THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS.” Shame those very good DDP scans might go to waste though.

Pretty sure they have already said or at least hinted that if this fails they done with Crowdfunding.

Steve noted in an interview that this was necessarily true and dispelled that rumor if I understood him correctly. What he did say was, that while one failing will make a future project a bit hard to pitch, it doesn’t rule out the opportunity for other crowdfunds in the future. I think it’s SAFE to say that if this doesn’t fund they wouldn’t approach the raw is war stage as the nitro was picked to lower costs/tooling/molds etc. for raw is war in the future.

Steve himself has said $400 is the minimum they can make/sell the stage for though... I'm sure if they could have done it for $300, they would have.

I fully believe some people here go into stores and tell the managers they need to have said items they are looking at sold to them for the price they deem fair to them, without any other thought.

All I can do is laugh now at the blatant disregard for everything Steve has said. Steve has been as transparent as possible as to the minimum number required by the factory and that $400 is the cheapest they could possibly go and yet we still get "suggestions" like these. Hilarious.

Any future crowdfunds are just going to run into the same problem with pricing, unreal expectation from customers, and tons of “OH THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS." Except the New Gen Arena proves this method of selling can work despite also having the same problems at first.

I still think this hits the base 5k. Everyone seems to forget new gens track to the end of macho. Friday is the deadline for this set, similar to the deadline on Macho. It’ll surge Thursday/Friday.

On another note, funded or not, I’m ready for this to be finished.
This place ruined this projects fun. The idiotic suggestions, questioning if those who are working with the manufacturer, some downright hateful comments, the “poor joke” (that dead horse has really been beaten). All that just sucked the fun out of this one. The negativity from some members vastly overtook the positive members here.

I can't grasp how people are still saying "it should be x price".
Steve has been incredibly transparent in recent weeks, far more than anyone has any right to expect from a Mattel employee: - He's openly admitted this is a lower margin item than Mattel usually make - Mentioned there's minimum order quantity from the factory and anything below that increases the cost exponentially (which is common sense) - He outright stated that in their eyes, the $400 is for the stage and the figures should be considered "free" bonuses. And even then, they pivoted to add Steiner
What more are people expecting? Mattel are operating a business.
They're not going to give you the item at cost price just because it's a nice thing to do.
I've been as analytical as anyone, particularly around international pricing (calculated a $30-40 overcharge, which isn't as bad as first thought), but given information in the last 10 days or so, I can't see how anyone can still be complaining.

All that just sucked the fun out of this one. The negativity from some members vastly overtook the positive members here. Agree. It's odd to see quite a few people come on here who have no interest in partaking in this project come back every single day to drain others with the same nonsense. I get having fun on the forum, but it's odd to me. This is the last crowdfund project I back/participate in. Between wasting energy and the anticipation, it's just not fun. Hopefully, future crowdfunds aren't like this and whatever people want here gets made.
