Got mine. Did anyone from the UK order theirs from Ringside? If so, do you remember the price there with shipping? Would be interesting to compare since Creations forces us to order in £. Australia, but I’m guessing similar issue. I’m aud to get from rsc it would have Byron approx $420 with shipping. Which was why I hesitated then missed out, Ordered last night and got it for $240 aud. Almost half the price with the shipping difference. Rsc I love you guys and order from you pretty much monthly, but these shipping hikes over the last year really need addressing. Went through this about 3-4 years back and you guys found a solution but for whatever reason over the last year they’ve crept back up and taken away any bundling saving too. |

I’m passing since I’ve given up on being an Ultimate completist. THIS!!! I started out having every UE moc but Mattel is just releasing to much to keep up with. It seems like we’re getting 4 new UE every month. if you all quit buying them then we will get less, guaranteed 😉 |

Shipping to Australia was $19.95 USD which is around $30 AUD. How can Mattel get shipping prices alot cheaper than RSC? RSC needs to start addressing the shipping prices since you have alot of customers abroad.

Across all waves and different locations, we get what now? 10-14ish Ultimates a year?
Sign me up for more. If I knew many of my top personal wants would get the ultimate treatment I’d probably stop buying elites. I don’t buy near what I used to plus getting burned out with Hasbro.
Feed. Me. Ultimates.

RSC needs to start addressing the shipping prices since you have alot of customers abroad. Big companies like Mattel do so much business with shipping companies that they are given huge discounts on shipping just because of the amount of volume they do. And while Ringside is a good size company, their volume of shipping is no where near what these big name companies are doing. So I'm guessing Ringside does have a corporate shipping discount with most US based companies, but they most likely don't do enough shipping for the shipping companies to give them much of a discount on international packages. This is one of the major reasons why Amazon started their own delivery network. They had such a huge discount with FedEx and UPS here in the states that the shipping companies were losing money on every Amazon shipment. So they chose not to renew their contracts once they expired. At the end of Amazon's contract with FedEx I think they were paying less than $0.10 per package for overnight delivery. |

It seems like we’re getting 4 new UE every month. I’ve given up because I missed out on the SDCC exclusives. I work and don’t have time to stay stuck on my phone waiting for releases to drop and I refuse to play scalper prices. So I just quit and just buy what I can. Less stress and easier this way. |

In 2022 we had all the regular UE in the line but also. Diesel Macho New Gen Macho - Target Doink Batista - Target Kane - Attitude Ring Hogan / Funk Hogan / Zeus Logan Paul - MC Cody Rhodes - MC Goldberg - Amazon It’s more like 20 UE’s each year….It’s expensive to buy everything. |

I cherry pick what I want. I just like having multiple UE options. Best wrestling line ever imo and the more I can have the opportunity at, I’ll take it. |

RSC needs to start addressing the shipping prices since you have alot of customers abroad. The ringside shipping prices are a blatant scam, to get an AEW ring shipped to Australia it’s $223USD ($330Australian) $330 in shipping is just ridiculous, it clearly cost way less and they’re pocketing the extra money |

Ash Ketchum never let the price stop him. Or maybe he did. Point is, outside having to go back and catch up since I started way late the price on most of these has been pretty reasonable. Yeah I’ll now have two rings I don’t need but juice has still be worth the squeeze. |

More options to cherry pick, and a lot more people satisfy their collecting needs. Maybe one day ultimates will move to 4 a wave. Mattel likes money after all. |

I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought it. $156 after shipping and handling seems absolutely outrageous though. For a singular figure and some pieces of cloth and plastic. Really already regretting it, price wise but i'm hoping it will make my display look way better.

As someone who uses the Ring almost daily when it comes to play, these things are AWESOME! Keep up the great work Mattel!

Wow that's a good insight regarding Amazon. I had thoughts that Mattel would have more volume on shipping meaning better prices overall. It just su&ks RSC can't get better deals on their shopping rates for overseas customers. |

Something needs to be done here. |

Mine is ordered and I can rest easy. As for the whole Ultimates talk, I don’t really like them that much. I like Elites better. I find myself getting Ultimates mostly for the accessories or if a comparable Elite doesn’t exist.

Yeah RSC shipping costs are monstrous. $50ish for 2 Ultimates. Amazon charged me $36ish for an order that was 4 ultimates and 5 elites. |
