It's a no from me, sadly. Being a UK collector, the additional cost and inevitable customs charge is too prohibitive. The stage looks unbelievable. I'm blown away by how great it looks. Kudos to everyone involved in the process as it's a fantastic piece.
The figures are not for me. If we were looking at something like WCW Bret, some kind of nWo presence - Bischoff as described above sounds great, Flair and someone a bit left field, ala Doink, I might have been able to talk myself into it. I'm really happy for people who are excited about the set and I'm keeping everything crossed that the whole thing gets funded. It's a great set if it ticks your boxes, but it's not for me as it stands.

I love the looks of the figures. While I wish Steiner was in his shorts, the singlet version is pretty cool too. I'm glad Warrior is the highest tier though. 1) because that figure just doesn't look that great (it's just so plain) and 2) I don't think it hits the top tier so I'm ok without it.

I can't wait to have that stage with me. I'm totally backing it up.

Kinda hoping we get a “oops.. we forgot something” and tell us Booker T or someone cool is apart of the base price

So Hogan is coming with two shirts. Do we think they’ll be the same design but one will have the velcro down the front and the other will be like Jeff’s tank? Or they both gonna be the velcro down the front with different designs? And if it is two different shirts, one has to be Pastamania, right? He did wear that on the debut episode of Nitro.

I’d love pastamania for one of the shirts but I don’t think so because no hat. |

That Warrior figure may not look great there but with the duster on it’ll look fantastic. I hope they show these figs with the accessories when it goes live or shortly thereafter. |

Pastamania middle of the show and Hulkster when he wrestled Bubba.  |

What if in the UE main line we get Nitro debut Luger in cloth pants and shirt. Wrestling attire underneath.
Nwo Stevie Ray and wcw champ Booker in a 2 pack in the future.

I'd imagine they would do Stevie as an Elite in the Legends line, but 2000 Booker definitely deserves an Ultimate. If they do an Ultimate Harlem Heat 2-pack, I'd love to see their purple attire.  |

SDCC vs reveal. Looks to be exact same. I'm wondering if this is exactly what we are getting or something close and the SDCC stage was just used fro promo images. I could've sworn, Steve said, that they'd like to get this out at a smaller scale.  |

Stage looks great. Don’t see what else Mattel could have done to improve this.
The figures are where they lost me. The Hogan is a simple repaint of his UE WM9 figure. DDP is in the same tights look we’ve seen multiple times in the Elite line, yet Warrior is given jeans. Rey seems unnecessary considering we just got Elite 100, and are getting a WM22 UE figure. Steiner is the only one that makes sense to me.
If Matte went all out with this, I’d have gone with the below knowing who they can use…
- Scott Steiner: No change here. Love the figure.
- Rick Steiner: 1998 “Dogface Gremlin”
- Scott Hall: Nitro debut.
- DDP: Jeans with taped ribs.
- Booker T: 1998 attire with TV Title.

Sting (hopefully) would’ve been in this if he still was with WWE

I think it looks AMAZING, but I don't think it will fund. The last one was released in the height of COVID -- it's really a different world now. And 5,000 people spending $00 just does not seem realistic to me. It's amazing though

I will also put money on us getting a Nitro ring on Creations and/or RSC probably by the end of this year or sometime next year bundled with an UE. Likely Macho Man if I had to guess.
