I wonder how well the Alexa UE will do... over here, female Elite figures just never seem to sell well, never mind the extra £10+ for UEs. Smyths had to discount the Ronda UE to about £12 (from £29.99)... and the only other 2 female UEs have been exclusives/limited releases. I guess we'll see though.
Do we know the other UE coming with Alexa yet?

I had the Nakamura in my hand the other day… and it was on clearance. Didn’t pull the trigger.

Imagine dropping 130 on a Lesnar figure that looks exactly like every other figure he’s ever had. Crazy.
Some weirdo quoting me later on in this thread - No no bro, this one has black shorts and a suplex city shirt.

Considering I selectively buy for my personal collection & not for any resale I’m not worried about making profits

I was lucky enough to randomly grab an extra UE Ronda to keep MOC off of Amazon about a month ago for less than $30. I just got a Charlotte for less than $50 shipped on eBay, too.
Also was able to grab Becky for $50 on Ringside a few weeks ago when they randomly added all those UE's.
I got into this line late and I kick myself all the time over it. I thought these figures weren't so cool in the early lines but now I have a ton of them and wish I could have a full line collection to display. I wish I would have just bit the bullet and got them while they were reasonably priced. No way I would spend $100-$250 for the Amazon Rock, the HBK, Brock, Triple H, Warrior or Bret.
I do have Series 1 Ronda, Series 2 Shinsuke, and all of the UE's from Series 5 and on minus the Amazon Rock. I was lucky enough to get preorders of the new Jeff Hardy and Hulk, and I backed a few of the New Generation arenas. I am NOT sleeping on anymore UE releases. The line is probably my favorite figure series ever. The packaging is incredible and they just look beautiful all displayed together.

“ GRAB THEM if you see them in the store , you will make your money back and more within 6months-year”
And yet we moan about scalpers all day on here
Today’s word of the day is ‘Irony’. Irony is a noun. Lets all say it together ‘I-ron-ey’
An example would be rain on your wedding day, or a free ride when you’ve already paid

That being said, I do think the take-home message of this thread though is that people should grab the ultimates they want when they’re actually available as opposed to waiting. Because anyone who’s waiting is getting burned right now with this line. I love you. |

But when we all know retail is spotty at best, worse w lot of the time, then taking off the shelf with the sole intention of selling for more is not in the spirit imo |

I honestly get broken-hearted at the thought of some kid rushing to the figure section hoping to find something they want, only to find the selection barren due to someone buying up more stock than they need. Hell, I even hate it for adults too. We're all fans. There would be more than enough to go around if people had a little more decency. Hell, that's a microcosm for society in general actually. I love you. |

I have been able to find all of these at retail with Amazon. Sure they don't come out at 29.99 at the same time they are at target, but if you wait you can find it.

I have the full series. Right from the start, I decided to collect the series. Each figure bought at retail price. All unopened and mint. Jeff has already been pre-ordered, and I hope Hogan will be there soon too. I was also be able to buy Sgt. Slaughter at retail price and I backed the Retro Arena 30 times 😅👌🏻 I don't collect anything else. I fully focused on the Ultimate series. My guy! I have at least doubles of all. They look so good loose, and the packaging has been my favorite from mattel. Backed 5 of the rings which i thought was a lot, but you got 25 on me! Looking forward to getting the Slaughters too! If I am one of the few lucky ones to get the black card, Cant say I won't sell it. Will be the Jewel of my collection, but everyones got a price. |

I considered doing this but never pulled the trigger apart from bret and warrior I was going to just get the legends but then guess I didn’t want it enough to bother. I really hope they keep the packaging the same though cos they look great as a set |
