I went with no, for similar reasons as to why I chose not to back the Nitro stage. It's a large financial commitment for an item that doesn't really fit into the way I collect and is so large that it require me to rework my entire office and display just to maybe make it fit somewhere.
Also FWIW, I really don't think the Raw stage would have gotten funded had it been announced instead of Nitro.

This community doesnt want nice things Nah we do, just for a reasonable price. Like others have said, the Raw stage is a bit of truss and a bit of curtain. $500 is mental money for that. |

I would love the Raw stage but I feel like the sweet spot for crowdfunds with this community is between the price range of $250-$300..
So whatever we can get for that I would definitely back.

Give me the chamber and hiac.
a 150-200 stage would be fine. I don’t need 100 LEDs

This community doesnt want nice things If "nice things" here means $500+ elective goods that correspond with my action figure collection that stand half as tall as I do, then no - I do not want nice things. |

No because then the same issues that plagued the Nitro stage would be present again (and worse) with the Raw stage.
As an international collector with not enough space to display scale stages, I don't even wanna know what a Raw stage would cost. I said no to the Nitro stage at $800 CAD.

We're never getting any other massive crowdfund like the Nitro stage. It's just never gonna be fully funded. Sure a poll is not paying customers but the Nitro stage when shown at Comic Con had thousands of people raving about it claiming they were gonna back it and even Steve said that nobody showed up for that.
A scaled down, not-Ultimate RAW stage sounds like a terrible idea tbh.

No chance I'd pay $500. That's the only reason I selected "no."
But I'd be very inclined to order it if it was $400 (or less) and had some desirable UEs involved.

If "nice things" here means $500+ elective goods that correspond with my action figure collection that stand half as tall as I do, then no - I do not want nice things. like I said No I believe what they say it will cost because it’s not just the materials such as truss and curtains. It a limited run which will cost more because they still have pay the same operation cost to power the factory and pay the labor to work on making it. But now the volume is much lower. So there’s much less volume to spread the cost over. So yes I believe when they say it costs that much for them to make/charge as a Crowdfunded item. And I was willing to pay the price for the Nitro stage. But no I am not willing to pay that much (or whatever the cost will be) for the RAW stage. Because my interest level in any other stage other than the Nitro is nonexistent. So they could say it would only cost $5 and it still would be more than I am willing to pay, because I have zero interest in owning a WWF stage. *Edit actually that’s a lie I would be willing to spend $200 on a RR’00 stage. But that is it.and I am sure it would cost more than $200 to make so I would pass on it. |

I don't think so, no. I was willing to create space for the Nitro stage but don't think I'd do the same for the Raw stage, push come to shove. Especially since we have the Raw letters and the New Gen entrance.
I honestly haven't seen very many suggestions of things I would buy. Definitely the prop sets like Barber Shop/Piper's Pit but I'm not sure why we really need to crowdfund that stuff. I'd take an ECW ring with the entrance but that seems like another thing that could go on Creations, or just be an accessory pack since it could all technically work with the Raw ring. I'm not interested in any kind of ring add ons like Chamber/HIAC/Punjabi. Maybe the Fist Stage, but I'm on the bubble with even that after seeing how the Nitro stage went.
I think it's best to let this all cool off for awhile.

Quit wasting Mattel’s time with these huge playset/stages.
That’s not what the majority of people want.

Just so we're clear in calling the Mattel WWE team liars Never said they were lying, just that it's a ridiculous price when you look at what it is. If that's what it costs them that's what it costs them, but don't expect the crowdfund to explode if that's the case. |

I agree, I just wanted to clarify things with the person I responded to, that if we're going to go down the route that RAW Stage should be cheaper, then we are basically saying that Steve and the other guys at Mattel have lied to us about that. I think they have been quite transparent that the RAW Stage would have cost more than the Nitro Stage |

Unless its some figures that I really,really want involved, its a huge pass for me. I'm just not interested in stages,rings,cells etc. The figures are the only thing I'm interested in,I'm a lot bigger fan of the MC made to order(Cody and Logan)figures then anything we would ever get in a crowdfund

Whether it actually costs more to make it than the Nitro stage or not (I'm sure it does cost more), I think most consumers would view it as larger but cheaper looking and not worth that much to actually pay for.
Regardless - I think the hard lesson Mattel will take from this is that a stage the size and cost of the Nitro stage or anything more is off the table.
