Mattel you’ve mishandled this from the jump. Make it right, offer all the figs tomorrow and get this funded!

I bought 3 of these because - Love WCW - love the lights and scale size entrance - we have all wanted Scott Steiner forever and one never knows if he won't become available later (see Jeff Jarrett and Jay Strongbow! I would prefer to buy just one but believe in it that much that I see the value. It's all about the end game at this point. I wish Mattel would say in the last week ... we would give all figures and entrance for $400.00 if we hit $5,000 because I think it would put it over the top, and to get exclusive figures plus, this entrance for $400 would knock it out. In all likelihood, it would get to 9,000 or more because the game of chicken would be no more. "I don't want to do it unless I can get all". "I don't want to do it unless it looks like it's getting closer" etc ... All that would go away. Then Mattel can reuse the ultimate molds for the figures they make here to create a different paint app later for each one of these over time which would be available to the masses ... because the investors helped kick this off.

I said in an earlier post, include all five figure's in with the stage at 5k backers, more for your money.

I want to make sure my original point in making this thread is clear. It took me a long time to make, so I may have forgotten some of the points I wanted to make.

I’m just looking at the sticker price. I’m not taking into account shipping costs. I understand the overseas shipping is absurdly high for whatever reason. My point is there is no way the stage Mattel is showing us can be made for less than $400 at 5,000 minimum units without taking a bath. If they were running it at 100,000 units maybe they could come down on the price because manufacturers are likely to cut a deal per unit when the production volume is high enough. But this is a limited run item where every piece needs new tooling. But at 5,000 units, Mattel is not going to be getting any volume deals on this thing.

For those of you saying it should cost $200, how? I showed you two stages that were $50 with a fraction of the detail and half the size and were manufactured on a scale to be released in numbers that put it on the shelves of stores all over the world. I think you don’t realize how expensive it is to make a limited run item. Maybe you’re confusing a mass retail product with a boutique item.

I’m not trying to argue whether or not the item has any value TO YOU. I’m trying to argue why the $400 price tag makes logical sense in terms of the cost to produce the item at the volume needed to fund the project. If you don’t want it, don’t back it. If you can’t justify spending that much, that’s a different story. I never said, “This is why you should spend $400 on this.” I said, “This is why I think the price tag is appropriate for the item in question.”

And lastly, I can’t even afford this. I want it, but it’s not feasible for me to buy right now. So I have to pass. But I can still look at that stage, look at the minimum number of orders needed to green light it, look at the price tag, and say, “Yeah, that makes sense.”

For $400 you should get an elite scale wcw ring as well, the price is just too high in the real world.

$400 is a car payment or rent or food for a month.

Thats why this crowdfund is dead in the water right now.

Stop trying to explain something that I already understand regardless if you think I do or not.

I understand Rey and the stage are the base. I understand the extra figures are bonuses. I am not at all saying you’re wrong.

My suggestion was to make all the figures and the stage the base, for a set price and a set amount of backers for either it all to be made or for none of it to be made. I feel this would make it more worth it and easier to get backed. People have literally said, “I’m not backing until it hits x amount.” and this is part of the reason Hogan didn’t get unlocked. Rey and the stage are not $400; yes, that is my opinion but it’s the opinion of a lot of others, too.

I understand how it works I just feel like a set group of items, set price, and set minimum backing amount would do better. I totally could be wrong about it but I’m just giving an opinion too basically.

I just personally don’t see it hitting 11k and if doesn’t I see a lot of people backing out not thinking it’s worth it which will cause the numbers to drop

ok then make it 11k backers and it all gets made or nothing does. 7k backers only getting 2-3 figs with the stage isn’t worth $400

and why not?
