They're very expensive and too hard to find.

Series 7 is in the books and series 8 is at RSC (Macho and Edge), soon at Targets. Series 9 is probably a month or 2 away from pre order and I assume Series 10 (rumoured as Rock and Cena) should be announced around Mania time. I suspect we will see series 11 teased then as well.
The Fan Takeover line is a great idea. We have a Jeff Hardy as a first time in line and while I’m a little suspect on the attire choices, Triple H, Hogan, Warrior and HBK will all sell very well on Amazon.
Cena (if true) is he only repaint from the main UE line so far. And I don’t think he ever really made it to Target.
How far will line go? Undertaker, Kane, AJ, Roman, Seth, Orton, Drew and Lasley... another Macho and Hitman... all of these are no brainers in this line. Add in Banks and Asuka, and we have 6 more series that will sell through quickly.
Assuming Mattel keeps the license, I figure Ultimates have another 8-10 main line series at least, plus Amazon exclusives (Fan Takeover)...
If your not on the wagon, now is the time. I bet you wish you had all the Defining Moments or RSC from back in the day. This is today’s version of that, only better cause it’s a high end style in scale with all your other Mattels.

I've said this before but looking back now we had around 5 Warrior's warming at Toysrus for the longest time. That's a lot of money today.

Not anytime soon This gave me enough anxiety to plunge and grab Macho from RSC last night! I’m so glad I jumped on these from the beginning. I thought paying $40 for HBK was a lot, but it could have been much worse. The only one I’ve paid dearly for was the Rock. I asked for it for Christmas and by the time my wife tried ordering, it was gone. I ended up getting a damaged box yesterday for $80, which is a good deal for the prices they are going for. I don’t see Ultimates going away anytime soon.

Once the highly demanded, highly sought after Bad Bunny Ultimate Edition figure drops, I predict that the line will collapse in on itself, with Mattel having finally produced a figure that no amount of human production could possibly produce enough of to meet the astronomical demand. This will likely drag down the Elite collection, as no single figure worthy of such a line would ever be able to rake in the actual liquid cash that the highly demanded, highly sought after Bad Bunny Ultimate Edition figure will inevitably produce.
The Basics will survive because the kids love 'em.

My only Ultimate so far is Warrior, but the only other one released so far I really would want is Bret. Which I'm annoyed about passing up when I saw him, as he's hard to get now too.

There was a Bret right behind it without a sticker, so I asked if it was the same price. He ended up giving me both for $40. I walked into Target the next day and they were both sitting there for $30 each.

I'm kinda hoping when Smyths reopens here I can see if they still have some stock left over from pre lockdown.

I think the Montreal Shawn is my favorite one they have done so far.

I've got a complete set of these so far with double of all main 80s Era characters. Hope it keeps going at the same rate as its actually way more affordable then elite lines with only 2 figures per release

And have no idea what that has to do with what I said? I was guessing about pre-order dates and announcement dates. Nothing about release dates...

We've already seen repeats as well. So I can't imagine anyone who's not a main event talent will ever get one.
