If you collect figures MOC then Ulitmate Edition is the way to go. I compare the look and packaging to Entrance Greats and Defining moments and Ultimates blows them away See I don’t agree, unless you’re not collecting a ton of elites. The extra $10 doesn’t exactly add anything for an MOC collector. Also for me Defining Moments is my favorite packaging they’ve done. I don't much like the packaging either. I dont like how the figures are packed to the side rather than centrally. I agree DM packaging was the best, and Legends is great. |

Yeah totally agree, wish they were packed mostly centered. The shape is kinda odd too. Legends is really good too, current and old, though I don’t collect many of those figs. Partly because the line was dead by the time I got in the game. Only new one I have so far is Eddie. |

I have every ultimate so far(even preordered Austin and flair) besides the rock 😢. I have to say my favorites are Cena, Hollywood, Hart and macho man. But I love them all. They are all awesome figures and if you have the itch to get one don't pass on it.

Same, why are they wasting time on all these legends? I got Brock, Shin, Finn, Fiend, Edge and Becky so far. Where is Roman in this line?!

I have them all so far but with some especially the new Rock and Cena I fear they might get lazy. These two just seem like regular elites right now so the extra heads don't really seem to add that much.

I have purchased or preordered Warrior Bret Balor Triple H HBK Hogan Rock Savage Flair Austin Passed on Ronda Nakamura Becky Cena Brock Charlotte Fiend Edge So I have purchased a little more than 50% Interesting So you’ve basically got the legends / flashbacks but not current guys with the exception of balor and cena. What was the rationale? Did you just have a better cena and fin a favourite or just think it’s a cool figure? |

What was the rationale? Did you just have a better cena and fin a favourite or just think it’s a cool figure? I only buy figures of wrestlers I find/found entertaining which are mostly old school wrestlers and a handful of modern guys. And with the UE line they have to be someone I found entertaining enough that I am willing to spend $30 for. Modern guys there’s only a handful of wrestlers that I will spend that on. Hell, there’s quite a few now that I am not willing to spend $20 on. And with those wrestlers I would maybe buy a basic of them. And so far Balor and Edge are the only modern guys they released that I am a fan of and willing to spend the $30 on. And even with Edge I was underwhelmed with what we got for $30. I will never use that final count styled head. |

My initial thought was to get all the flashback guys but I was underwhelmed by the majority and they were not what I think of as flashbacks in some instances (such as cena) as I consider flashbacks to be really up to 99. I have bret and warrior and that’s about it. I only got warrior since he was a virtual steal on the bay at £15 or so which is cheaper than some elites. I was just lucky with that one |

I am not interested in paying so much more just for the extra articulation and heads for someone I already have an elite of. I have tended towards only getting Ultimates for very unique looks or legends.

Wasn’t a fan of the modern edge I went with the elites
I love all my ultimates; HBK-HHH-Hogan
If they do put out a ruthless aggression era edge I’ll take it in a heartbeat

No disrespect to people who are liking the Ultimates. I'm staying away from them for now. For what I'm looking for, the Elites are good enough for me.

An ultimate ultimate line. Neca quality and care and attention warrior etc I’d happily pay £40/£50 for, maybe even £60 if it was with an amazing cloth duster and accessories |

So here’s my weird story with Ultimates.
At first I just looked at them as a more expensive alternate to the defining moments. Even though they were cool I was expecting them to be cancelled shortly. I was dead wrong there. Then I started seeing them at retail and picked a few up to start (I got Warrior and Bret in the early waves and passed on others like Ronda and Nak). For whatever reason I kept them MOC and then they started not even showing at retail. The prices spiked online and I was pretty shocked at how much they spiked. I mainly collect flashbacks and was looking forward to Hogan (which I got at retail). I ordered a Macho because that was a must and I liked it so much I ordered another to open. That’s my favorite figure of the year so far. Now I’m REALLY looking forward to getting the Flair and Austin UEs because they look unreal. Now it’s become one of my favorite lines as it’s easier to keep up with and the quality is pretty great.
