More supply to meet the demand, people start undercutting each other before too long are they reprinting these or are you asking people to flood the market? Neither. You wanted an explanation of why prices will drop: Scalpers who did their part to buy out Mattel Creations' stock of the exclusive are finally getting them shipped, which means they can actually sell them now. A lot more sets will be available at the usual bay of evil. They start to get impatient, they start to undercut each other, lower prices. That's how that works |

I think it's a tad ridiculous that this thing was supposed to ship on September 30. I was one that got a pre-order from Mattel Creations and I still have nothing on mine.
How did WWE get a shipment to sell before MC fulfilled their own queue??

Huge thanks to dammagededdie for helping me get my hands on a set for a very reasonable price. Was super bummed I missed out on this back in July so I'm very happy to be able to add this one to my Ultimate collection.    |

Have you called them or anything? not yet. i’m on vacation now so i’m gonna give them a call when i get back. if there’s any type of runaround with it, im just telling them to refund my money. this whole thing was handled poorly and really just left me uninterested in the two pack |

I got this months ago. Its the first Mattel figures i've bought in almost 5 years.
My opinion is
GREAT:
hulks skin tone
butterfly joint and double elbow articulation make for better arm movement
accessories. lots of hand options and entrance gear
head scans really look like them
BAD:
Zeus's skin tone is too dark. It looks better when u shine a light directly on the figure. But with no lighting it doesn't look accurate
the color of Hogans gear is flat out wrong. He wore teal trunks in the movie and in the WWF. They made his gear like a denim color. Even the old Ringside Exclusive color was more accurate
I officially don't like Ultimate Edition torsos. You gain better side to side flexibility at the cost of losing the ability for the figure to bend forward and backwards. Also the stomach piece no longer being flush with the chest makes the figures look odd and ur never going to get an accurate looking body for anyone this way. Elite Hogans torso looks way better than this Ultimate. As this being my first Ultimate Edition figures im not impressed. The figures don't look unique. Remind me more of the Jakks Finishing Moves figures

Remind me more of the Jakks Finishing Moves figures I agree regarding the ultimate torso's looking unrealistic and the elite torso looking more realistic. In the end I think the AEW torso's which have the exact same features as these ultimate torso's look more realistic and not so odd looking. |

Did anyone order from spam website? I have not had a notification since I ordered from them, no tracking update. I could have just ordered for cheaper on WWE shop when I had the chance if I didn't already order from them.
I hope that next year's SDCC exclusive doesn't interest me at all so that I don't get caught up in this again. Really a frustrating experience. Mattel next year release something along the lines of Sgt Slaughter so that I won't be interested.

I don't have issue with the torso really, but that may be the only issue as far as ultimates go. However, the torsos on aew figs is probably the only good thing about those figs as 90% of the rest of the figures are total crap. |

UE is far better than both. |

Ughhh fed up of checking my inbox without a single update from spam. It had an estimate of September/October and nothing. Not one update. Their customer service doesn't seem to be in too much of a hurry to find out where the item is either.

Word of advice - from spam Ricky 😉 never order from spam website. I placed an order for this item in July and today they cancelled and refunded it. Completely leaving me in limbo over how to get this stupid item. Im Back looking on eBay land at items that have been opened that are now going for £136.
Please Mattel, next year only sell this item at the Comic Con event. If you are not there, you don't get it. Don't make it mass released. It will save alot of people dissapointed and frustrated at your product.
This item was released in July and here I am still pulling my hair out over it.
Spam website/spam Dot com.

So your solution to not being able to get one yourself is for them to make less of them next year? |
