Looks awesome and I would have loved it as a kid but the Nitro stage is already too big for me. This would look ridiculous.

Holding something ransom when it should've came first. Nice 👍 I can understand it in this case though. This one is going to be even bigger and more expensive than the nitro one. If there's not 5000 people interested in a wcw stage and five figs at $400, it's a good indicator they shouldn't even waste their time developing a $600 stage that would need 7000 people. It absolutely should not be more expensive than the Nitro stage. It’s almost entirely scaffolding. They can make a mold for a single scaffold piece that fits together like Lego allowing you to adjust the size of the stage to your liking. That single piece would make up the majority of the stage. Think of the Mattel crowd barricade. It’s literally just 2 separate pieces. |

If I could only have one entrance stage, this is the one I want. It’s the perfect entrance stage to me. Perfect in its simplicity.

They as and when people’s lives chance the stage could evolve with them Move from a smaller place, increase the size. Have a kid do you need to reduce your collection space, reduce it down Etc etc |

I’ve bought multiple WWE playsets just so I could combine them into something bigger. The guy that took the picture of this Raw stage said that the WCW stage is also customizable in size and you can remove floor panels to change the size. I want to see Mattel take customization to the next level with the Raw stage, including the ability to shorten or lengthen the ramp. |

I would much rather they do a retro sized one or something, this is ridiculously massive.

Any others (AE, Smackdown fist, etc) are going to be a higher price point. |

This stage will be more expensive and less likely if the nitro stage fails. I hope they keep their word. The community isn’t ready for good things

Honestly, I don’t know why we have an official thread for this when we aren’t even one) guaranteed the Nitro set (and it’s looking very bleak) and 2) nitro has proven that the $400 price tag is just too height for the majority of wrestling community. This isn’t Star Wars, MOTU, GI Joe etc
Sure, lord of big collectors WANT these dioramas, that was evident by the response when they were shown. But anyone who thought that stage was going to be any less than $400 was kidding themselves unfortunately.

The community isn’t ready for good things I have to feel it's going to fail, not even at 1500 backers after the wrestlemania weekend hype. Not sure even 5000 is possible. Certainly not the early bird Hogan. |

I think the no brainer would be Vince, the first UE of him. You'd include the microphone/head set along with it and a possible yelling voice head. The second option would definitely be HBK. |

Any others (AE, Smackdown fist, etc) are going to be a higher price point. That makes no sense for a Raw is War stage. It would require far less tooling than the WCW stage and fewer LEDs. It is mostly just black curtains. The only reason it should be expensive is if they add a screen for the Titan Tron which they absolutely should not do. All of the scaffolding should consist of a single piece that just snaps together like Lego. |

But anyone who thought that stage was going to be any less than $400 was kidding themselves unfortunately. Yeah, but is that the project or is that the economy? The economy has been terrible in every country. Everybody in the world has been bracing for a recession in their respective country. I would love to back this, but I got laid off. The top companies in the U.S. are cutting thousands of jobs. I don’t think it’s fair to chalk it up as, “Well, I guess the collecting community just isn’t interested.” That completely disregards the state of the economy. How many people on these boards have posted about cutting back on collecting because of inflation? It’s been a lot. I guarantee you that the New Gen Arena would’ve sold a lot more had it released in 2019. I think a Nitro stage would do a lot better if the economy was more stable. |
