Interesting that it is selling out so quickly on Target (though we don't know how many were available) -- given how many people thought there would be no demand for a Bliss UE.
They might sit at retail -- but I have see so many Undertaker and Kane UE, so that's not proof there is no demand. I hope they were smart enough to make Bliss in fewer numbers..

She has quite the following. I think she will be obtainable but I think she will sell really well. I think there will be somewhat a hunt for her.

Most stores are still crammed full of Rock, Cena, Kane and Taker. Iβm sure once those get clearanced out/bought up, Alexa and Fiend will peg warm just like those do.
Didnβt Alexa just come in stock on Ringside just a few weeks or a month ago? I donβt think any other major retailer has really even put it up yet for more than a day or two.

Yeah I saw Ultimate Undertaker on the clearance rack yesterday. Not every Ultimate flies off the shelf.

So far she's sold out on Target and Amazon and because this is a new look for her people who have a previous Alexa might grab this one. There are also the ultimate edition completists like me who get at least one of each. I don't think she will sit warm as long as previous women figures.

She has a pretty hardcore fanbase. I think we've seen this with her previous figures - but ultimately the supply outpaces that early demand.
Add in the fact that this gimmick was short lived and she's been MIA and I don't think this figure is going to be a nightmare at retail.

It's just a flavor of the month. Two things will happen. First the flippers will buy them up, to resell. Then the rabid "gotta have it/gotta have everything" collectors will buy up the next rounds. Then they sit. It's been that way with most releases for a while now.

Getting back into collecting recently, itβs been weird to see the ultimate lines progress. I had no interest when I jumped back in, likely due to how pricey previous releases had been. But then when I saw Macho at retail I grabbed it, and really liked it. Never saw him or edge more than once. Then when the flair/Austin line was our, again grabbed them but saw them all on a couple of occasions. From there, every one Iβve seen on shelves in mass. Not sure if itβs overproduction but I really am shocked that Kane and Taker are being clearanced at multiple targets given how badly most collectors wanted them. Iβm hoping T and Hogan get the same distribution

I'm taking a chance on it hitting clearance. I want the figure, but I don't think I could justify $30. If I never seen it again, I wouldn't feel like I missed out.
Not a knock on Alexa Bliss, she is definitely one of my favorite recent women's superstar. Just voting with my wallet, that's all.

You believe people won't buy them or that they're going to be overproduced, (or other)? I think theyβre overproducing them. I wouldn't think they well be overproduced. While these are legit needle movers, they will call me and go with the seasons. I still have plenty of Walmart stores that never stock Ultimates and demographically speaking, bigger cities with multiple Targets may be floored with demand, but but 'rural' areas that may have access to one Target will see scarcity. Case in point my Target don't have any Taker or Kane's, but up in Kansas City I've seen more than anyone should see at a store. You have to take into account markets outside of your own. |

There's plenty of pedos out there. She'll sell out all the time. Wellβ¦this was a dumb comment. |

She was the top selling in merch for women last year, 3rd overall behind Austin and Roman..so yeah I'll say she will move some merch.
