But by making Macho Man only available to the backers by that date, it essentially made the Macho Man deadline the unofficial deadline because why back and get less stuff? It made everyone make their decision two weeks early then, and it’s why the early bird Hogan this time around didn’t move things much, because if they hit the Hogan deadline, he was going to be available to everyone regardless of if you backed the first day or the last day. There would have been more incentive if they had made Hogan only for the people that ordered in that first week but we will never know how many it would have sold in that scenario. Launching this project with the "Early Bird" already announced nullified being able to really give it a boost when things stalled out. Something to perceivably add value or sweeten the pot which gave the New Generation set essentially two separate deadlines with that first one really laying on the FOMO thick because people knew the "Macho Man" window would be closing. I also do believe that the Hogan figure announced for this set was not the best choice since there is already a similar version available. Yes, Savage already had another UE available, but at least he was given a signature attire from his last prominent match in the WWF which made it feel special. Would like to think regardless of those factors that this things sees some kind of last-minute surge today. Just not sure if it will be enough to get it over the hump, but have to remain optimistic. Even if they don’t unlock all the figures, I have a hard time believe I g they can’t at least throw the Hogan in there at the end. He’s essentially a re release. I guess we’ll see. |

This thing didn’t move at all like I expected yesterday. Hopefully it gets rolling today and gets funded but the reality of this not happening is starting to set in. It sucks
I know many don’t like the cost and there’s an international issue but this is a grail piece for a lot of us and I’d hate to see it slip away. It’s gonna suck knowing we could’ve had this on our shelves

This has been quite the emotional journey. Going from not funding due to the international cost, then deciding if Steiner got added I would back it, backing it and now feeling the sadness of seeing this slip away into the land of unreleased figures.
I reallllllllly hope there is a major change, but being in the UK I feel like I'm going to wake up tomorrow to disappointment.
Looks like I will need to find another £500 to itch because that money is spent in my head!

I have a gut feeling something will be announced today that'll get those numbers up and the project backed.
... but I could be wrong.

I have finally backed it, I wasn’t going to because of the nonsense with the international prices and no pay options.
But i am a fan of this it looks amazing.
Just hope moving forward they actually help international buyers and show us some love.

This feels like the morning before game 7 for my favorite sports team and I’m pretty sure my team will get their butts kicked.
Exciting yet unnerving

I can’t seem to find video of it anywhere, but did Steve mention that the Nitro logos on the stage are removable?

If it makes it, there's a lot Mattel could do. I'd like to see a proper scaled guardrail set with ring mats.

Why was Hogan constipated at the beginning of his little paid card-reading promo?

If it doesn’t look good by lunch time today I see them adding Hogan to the 5k. The figure is basically a rerelease with a couple of new tweaks. It won’t cost very much to add it on Mattel’s part. |
