If and when this gets close, I am going to be tempted to order a second one just to flip. The fact that these figures are going to be the most limited (with the exception of the black carded Sgt. Slaughter) makes it much more appealing to me to do that. I have room to store it for a long period of time, but it seems to me that even if we just get the base set, I can easily make more than my money back by selling each figure for $125 each, and the stage alone for $200 or more.
I could even see selling maybe the WCW stands and banners alone for a good chunk, and just having a generic stage and lighting left to use with whatever.

The Steiner will no doubt go for 200$+ in the beginning Rey I could see 150$+ I mean the RA bischoff just sold for 200$ on ebay |

Whatever happened yesterday with the 3 different jumps of like 200, it’s not looking good now. This has barely moved in 24 hours. Just think. 1800 non Americans would have easily backed this had they not been overcharging 😬 how many times are you gonna say that. 🤣 Every day and twice on Sundays -HH |

Really interesting time right now. Had some hope yesterday but now I'm getting unsure again.
Realistically, do we see a huge surge as far as getting HH unlocked? Or will we maybe just scrape by and get the stage at 5K w/rey & Scott?

Were Glacier and Mortis just inspired by Mortal Kombat or were they ever part of the MK canon? It’d be cool to see Mattel do a cross brand with MK like Jazwares / AEW have done with Street Fighter

Awesome, some industry promotion from the man himself! This is what we need! People with twitter please tweet the crowdfund link to more ex-WCW talents, staff, and current industry people, most of them will have lots of relevant followers. |

(I’ll let it slide if you back a crowdfund for me though) I'll have you know that this was a 1:1 collaboration with the genius idea of the Eddie ranger being mine. theman is my lawyer and if you plan to sue, then expect to give me half in royalties buddy. Matter of fact, since I'm feeling generious, I'll give you the box from my Nitro stage. In all seriousness dude, I really got a laugh from that Eddie... Can't thank you enough  |

I want all those figures. We finally got Hogan to tweet and make a promo, now can we get Rey or Scotty to tweet it out or something? I love how we all got together as community to spread the word. Let's make it happen Wfigs fam.

I think Glacier was being developed prior to nWo when WCW was still pretty cartoony and Bischoff thought he would be a merchandising cash cow. |

Anyone else having problems with Shop Pay? I can't get it to work, made an account, got the app and it still isn't working. I don't know why Mattel didn't just use PayPal. It shouldn't be this hard and it wouldn't with PayPal.

I wish some rich top executive could just drop 700k into it just to tell shareholders this was a W.
