Great surprise to wake up to a huge jump (43% to 54% is how I saw it).
Still it's ridiculous it's only now being advertised on WWE.com and WWE TV. A lot of people need to plan their finances further ahead than a couple days, and word of mouth through the collector/fan communities only takes these things so far. Anyone who visits WWE.com or watches WWE TV should have been made aware of this campaign much earlier, though I would guess the blame here lies with WWE itself and not Mattel.
Anyway back to the positivity, please anyone who has twitter, get tweeting the link to ex-WCW talent and staff, current talents who grew up watching, etc, we still need to get as many eyes on this as possible, and any retweets from industry people would reach lots of relevant followers.

WCW was a dumpster fire lmao For its last 3 years, sure. But 96-98 was a hell of a run. Not to mention some of the pre Hogan years.

Shouldn’t this thing being known about in the hardcore collector scene be enough? like the major pod has a big enough audience of figure collectors for this to have hit 11k. Not many people who aren’t already buying figures are going to drop $400/$630 on a giant figure playset just because they saw it on Twitter or NXT

If someone or someones backed in bulk with the sole intent to just artificially inflate the numbers just to cancel at the end.. what a total douche bag thing to do.
May you get explosive diarrhea while stuck in a traffic jam.

Just sayin. Bro I browse this forum in my spare time at work. Have a job and supplementary income renting an additional property I own. I would have backed this two, maybe 3 times if they weren’t scamming international backers. I haven’t bought anything from MC since they started overcharging international buyers on everything on their site and I won’t as a matter of principal.

I have not backed this yet. The money is there but I think I am with the guy above. They have scammed us international buyers.
If this doesn’t fund I think they only have themselves to blame with the poor figure choices and the shocking international prices.
The statements they realised was garbage about international and made no sense. I said before without international buyers you’re cutting a large portion of buyer.
Let’s be honest this isn’t nothing new with us guys not getting in store exclusives and have to pay through the nose to get them secondary online
Stage looks amazing but I think I will and alot of international buyers give this a miss

Lets see if the USA steps up to back this in the end like that guy on here was saying they didn't need any international backers on this.

I think the only chance this gets funded is if companies keep ordering large lots, outside of the 2 big jumps yesterday it sold the same amount of units as before

It’s sad because even if it crosses 5k without international people. The amount of buys they lose from being priced out means everybody gets less out of it. Coulda maybe hit Warrior.

I see. Carry on.

Since there would be less of these overseas because of the cost to buyers…if I lived overseas I’d pay the extra and be happy with showing it off to everyone else in my hemisphere who didn’t get one

I think many of you will be surprised to see how many people are waiting to back this at the deadline.

I just went to WWE.com and this ad popped up... ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/640x480q70/924/YJQuu6.png) Yeah that popped up today on the WWE Network too.

It's time to ignore the negativity. Don't respond to it, don't counterargue - just let them simmer in their pool while we embrace the power of positivity.
Once this hits 5K, I'm hoping FOMO will be strong enough to drive the numbers up and our international brothers and sisters succumb to the power of positivity and jump along with us for the ride.
Let's go! #releasethefreaksandpeaks
