Happy wife, happy life, just ask her and if she says no… do it anyways 😅. But truly if u have the extra money then spend it on what u want. Just also let her buy something in the future that is stupid money on something

Found Chase Macho at Target in Clermont. One non-chase still on the pegs. This has been one hell of a hunting week for me too. Found almost everything I wanted. Any Bam Bam or Hall anywhere? I’ve found bam bam at 3 different targets and hall at 2 that I have been too. I got to another 5 bam bam’s to late by just a few seconds. They r out there u just gotta put in the work and find em. And I’ve been to Tampa and the pinellas county areas like crazy all weekend

Still won’t back this, maybe I just don’t like it enough bc of that generation okay… and??? i have zero knowledge of the new gen and i don’t even like it enough (i do like the entrance stage and the doink though) but i still backed it up either way because 1. it opens up a door for the next crowd funding project which i’m sure will be 10x’s better than the new gen and 2. i’m selling everything separately anyways. i understand that it’s your money and you choose to do whatever you want with it, but you also gotta take into consideration about what the future holds Nah I just still won’t back it, I do think it won’t even make the 5k. But another project will be made just bc this isn’t

I really don’t think they know what they r talking about and he’s really signed until 2024. Just rumors to get started, plus y would Mattel start having plans and show stuff if a contract is about to expire? Makes 0 sense honestly

On the way to Kissimmee, I found Ultimates Austin and Flair at Target (I think near Gainesville). Uses my $10 off coupon and Target earnings to get both for under $50. Side note, I would hate being a collector from a big and touristy town... I don't know how you all do it! Surprisingly they actually get a lot of stuff in all the time because of the tourist

Did Mattel forget we wanted that HUGE entrance stage a few years ago? Bc it seemed like a lot more ppl was behind that. If u would of given us that as an option I’m sure 5k would of been done by now

Full disclosure: I AM a backer for the project. For more than one ring actually. I want this to succeed! I would love nothing more than to look back at this post sooner rather than later and say "well that didn't age well." But to be honest, the points I'm going to lay out will still hold true even if funding is reached. So without further ado... let me explain. The package is not a great deal at all. Rewind back to Jakks first Real Scale ring. 2005. The first one was 50 bucks at the time, which means 70 in today's money (that's using actual inflation rates, not a made up number). Now, fast forward to the Mattel Main Event ring. 100 bucks (106 in the current economic climate, not including tax). This ring not only came with a first time in the line Goldberg Elite, but it also included a full-blown announce table and office chairs. Again, all for only 100 dollars. Now, fast forward to this project. Let's start with the Diesel. Ultimate Editions retail for what? 30-33 dollars? Let's get really liberal with our estimation and call it 40. So that leaves us with 210 dollars. That's right. 210 dollars for a wrestling ring. I'm not going to take the upper tiers into consideration because the base set is what they're selling you and we don't know if we will hit that, let alone even more. And even if you did take another 40 off for Doink and say 20 for the skirts, that leaves 150 for the ring. Either way, it's a really hard sell. It's obviously the best looking and and seems to be the best scaled ring ever ( all the other rings boasting about accurate scale, they were all wrong). But is the ring alone worth over DOUBLE the main event ring set? Obviously, it was for me as I backed it. But I can totally see how for most people it isn't. I've just been clamoring for a great ring and am a Diesel mark, so I was sold before the upper tiers were announced (and I gotta say, they were pretty underwhelming). So basically, Mattel kept their tradition of bad openings for new series alive. What they should have done is a Raw Is War Ring with a suited Attitude Era Vince, with announce table and chairs as tier 1, and JR & King tiers 2 and 3, respectively. Those upper tiers would have had a domino effect. Once one was hit, people wouldn't be able to let the other two go. To quote a great show, Mattel went with a half measure... when they should have gone all the way. I love you. What this guy said! Definitely should of done a different ring an figure than this, I already have enough diesels I don’t want an UE or even doink. So if they changed that to what he said I would so buy into it

Funny thing about these aew figures is the same problem wwe jakks figures had. A lot of hype and had very good starting series and then went down hill. Looks like it’s gonna be the same with aew bc of I wonder who? 🙄
