The Rock figure does look identical to the previous one which is good for people who missed out but I hope the attire and accessories are at least different like someone else mentioned for the people who already own the original. I also have another question for those that have every ultimate. Does it seem like they are now doing too much too fast? Can you see yourself picking and choosing future figures especially when it comes to repeating talent?

This is a line I feel I can keep complete because they only have 2 in each series and then 1 every few months for the new legends line. Right now, you are just seeing lots of Ultimates announced, but those will be spread out throughout the year. Amazon is going to stop after Goldberg. This I feel is the only line that I can complete with all the exclusives. Remember ringside has never had an ultimate exclusive or walmart. Collecting all elite figures would be impossible imo |

Interesting that the Bret render doesn’t show the extra coat arms detached but the proto obviously has them. I’d honestly prefer a one piece cloth coat. I think it's just to fit in the render. If you look closely at the arms of the jacket in the render, they very clearly have the elbow articulation indicating that they're the extra arms. Also, to each their own of course, but I think a jacket like this would look horrid in cloth at this scale and greatly prefer the removable arm approach. |

I thought UE legends at target were 2 waves a year? I do not know about that, but Batista was released in April and Macho has been found in one store already according to the board here. So I can only assume the next will be 3 months or so after that? So Maybe not late fall, but have to think before XMas. Products have always found there way on to the shelves early.elease dates my have been screwed up because of shipping issues, but I always understood it was twice a year for Legends UE at target. UE is a premium product it would make more sense to put them out every six months, while the elite legends line is every 3 months |

I’d have liked to have seen a ‘leather’ look jacket, the Macho one is great and would have worked well with this Bret. I certainly hope if they do another UE Bret and it’s the screw job to go with the HBK, they do a leather hart foundation jacket. |

Getting both. That Bret is a work of beauty and truly is the Ultimate Bret IMO.

Collecting all elite figures would be impossible imo I believe Charlotte was a ringside exclusive the same time as the Rock was an Amazon. The smaller numbers definitely help but as of now collecting since series one I'm finding the amount adding up quickly and then there is also the issue of space and where to put these MOC |

Personally I hope The Rock has the soft goods gear from the entrance greats so I can get a ‘99 royal rumble Rock w/o buying the Entrance greats.

Charlotte was a ringside exclusive. Honestly, it is one of the best Ultimates out there. I agree about them adding up. I did have a shelf dedicated to all the moc figures, but now I'm going to need a lot more room |

Collecting all elite figures would be impossible imo I feel like they’re coming at a decent pace. I’m cherry picking all the lines at the moment, but when I do I sell off the inferior version. I think once you get an ultimate or fix it to your liking there’s no point in doubles. I will say this though, there’s too many repeats though. It’s crazy to think we haven’t even gotten a Rollins. I would prefer to get new characters out before reintroducing repaints. I also hope they continue to give out good quality as a far as detail goes and don’t start to cheap out. That’s how it usually starts. |

Hoping that the Rock has something that sets it apart(other than packaging) from the Amazon one. Pumped for the Bret! Glad they are beginning to upgrade the older elites with the newer technology.

I skipped UE Bret before because I wasn't buying Ultimates, so this is a great release for me. I tried to get UE Rock, but he turned into the only package ever (from Amazon, eBay, anything) that got lost in the mail, so I'm excited for him, too. I'm in favor of changing him up some to differentiate from the Amazon one, both to help the value of the original and to help those who already have him so he stands out. People who must have the Amazon one unfortunately will still have to shell out for it, but those are the breaks sometimes. It's too recent to do a straight re-release with just updated butterfly joints.
