An UE Snuka in this line/packaging would be incredible(!). Better get to work making a custom one then, cuz that’s the only way you’re getting one :3 I know, lol. I actually bought a second Legends Sunka not long ago to try and make into a barefoot version... better than nothing, I guess.

I've actually seen the stage advertised on YouTube, the last couple of times I've been on... so that's something.

I would order waaaay more from RSC if their UK/international shipping fees were more reasonable.

It's at 40% with like close to a month left a week and a half that passed by I am not too worried... at least at the moment just waiting to see what happens next I guess. Worried about the rest of the figures tho yes. Hopefully that stage will get funded. ...surely a huge percentage of people who wanted it will have already backed it though (to try and get the extra figure)?

Hey Steve - Is it at all possible to tell or "advise" Smyths (and other suppliers here in the UK) as to what a Build-A-Figure series is? Lately, they only seem to sell/supply 3 figures out of the 4 (eg. they didn't stock the RR Brie Bella figure, nor the Wrestlemania Dusty Rhodes) - so it's actually impossible to complete any BAF! It's sooooo frustrating...
Thanks, as always. 🙏

At the very minimum, they could extend the Hogan offer and just make him available to everyone (so everyone is guaranteed Hogan and Rey). But switching things around a bit and putting Steiner in there (ie. guaranteed Steiner and Rey) is probably the better way to go.

I don't see any way this gets backed. Mattel cannot change the terms now -- because then it sets the precedent they will change the terms every time. It's struggling to get to 5,000 -- which is not a great deal. 400 for the stage and *1* figure. There's not confidence it will unlock the other figures, so people don't want to jump in. And there is just not demand for 11,000. If it gets that high, a lot of people would be buying to resell. But with 11,000 -- it won't be nearly as valuable. This one sadly looks unsalvageable. SUCH a cool item though. 2000 backers after a week and half. 27 more days to go. It’s doing fine time wise. Most saying they didn’t want the Hulk figure are now clamoring for the Hulk figure. Makes no sense. But if someone were going to back the set, why wouldn't they have done it early to get an extra figure? Especially as you can always cancel afterwards/if it doesn't reach the tiers you want. I'm not sure how many more backers it will get once people see a figure is removed...

What the backer count at? Don't know if it's just me but on my phone it's been stuck at 2001 for about 2 hrs Well, at least it's not going backwards... I thought a few might cancel once they weren't getting Hogan.

It's not out of the realms of possibility that they switch things up a bit:
Eg. "Hey Guys - we've listened!! You fans were really excited by the Ultimate Edition Scott Steiner shown with the Nitro Stage - so as a bonus incentive, EVERYONE who backs the stage will ALSO now be getting this exclusive first-time Scott Steiner figure, along with the previously announced Rey Mysterio figure! We hope you'll join us in this exciting project!"
They could also alter the tiers to 7K for DDP and 9K for Warrior... still a stretch, but a lot better than 11K.
I hope they do something, as it would be great for all you guys on here who really want it.

They definitely screwed this up with the international thing. That’s the main mistake here There's three main mistakes/issues, imho: - the crazy overcharge on international orders (and no real explanation/breakdown from Mattel) - 4/5 uninspiring figure choices (especially the main/guaranteed one) - it's WCW, not WWE (it's a great stage - but WCW has far less of a fanbase/fewer collectors than WWE) If the set fails, this is completely on Mattel.

I love this idea... I have the (Basic) Undertaker one, which is pretty awesome.
My main vote would actually go to Mick Foley though, who isn't on your list!? I think a "Faces Of Foley" UE boxset would be great.

I think they’ll just about back this crowdfund but as suspected by this poll, WCW collectors are quite niche. They should probably stick to Golden/New Gen/Attitude crowdfunds if they want to stay successful with them. Yeah, 119 votes so far... and only 8 for WCW '95-'01 - ie. the main people who would/will back the Nitro stage. If this is representative of the larger wrestling collecting community, then no wonder it's struggling... maybe Mattel should have done a poll like this first to gauge where the main interest is(?)

I just checked and the shipping to the UK for the New Gen set was $14.95. Now I know this stage is bigger, but why not just charge a flat shipping fee (like last time), then the customer just pays the 20% customs charge when it comes into the country (again, like last time)? Why do they insist on including all these hidden charges? 🤷♂️

Well 100% get that Hogan in the future. I could care less anyways I just want this stage. It's still doable Oh, we'd definitely get it one way or another (possibly an Elite instead?). The figure itself was runner-up to the WM9 Fan Takeover UE Hogan (...further proof that including it here as an incentive wasn't really the wisest move...).

Maybe they should have put that Eric Bischoff figure (that's coming with the ring) here instead of Rey... it certainly would have been more of an incentive. And put Rey - or DDP - with the ring... 🤷♂️
I'd have put the denim/debut Scott Hall here too, exclusive to the stage.
