OMG those Mega Patches are going to be nastyyyyyyyy
The acetate rc auto patches will be cool too! Interesting idea bringing back the 02-03 design for a tribute.

LCS Sponsor,
It went up for pre-order last night, based on the current price I think we'll be at $269.99 a box. The product doesn't come out until May so if the Canadian dollar keeps going down it may end up costing more by time the product is actually shipped to us. I think $260-$300 will be the norm.
Looks awesome!

Looks like the jumbo patches are hand numbered... totally useless and takes away from the card.

I am glad they are bringing it back!

Verified Trader,
That's a matter of opinion. I don't mind hand numbering at all

Verified Trader,
I concur, I think it adds a little of a "personal touch" to the card. And quite understandably it's rarely ever (if ever) the player numbering the card themselves, but even if it is some UD employee, I find it a bonus. I'd take it over "print" numbering any day, especially, the old "pacific-like" numbering that looked choppy and misprinted sometimes, lol.

Verified Trader,
So this is clearly UD's replacement to Panini's Prime that will be a product driven by the collectivity of huge patches, but the detail to rookies kind of sets it apart a bit and brings back memories of the 02/03 and 03/04 versions (and great successes) of Premier.
Not to derail the purpose of the thread, but what is anyone's opinion on what this does to Ultimate? Understandably Ultimate isn't really in this price point, but this was the product that kind've replaced Premier way back a decade ago. Recent releases of Ultimate have been relative flops. Not necessarily quality wise, but no release since maybe 10/11 has really retained any "box" cost compared to it's original price point. Does the reemergence of Premier start to seal it's fate? Clearly SPA, SPGU and possibly Ice and Masterpieces (have to wait and see) will seem to dominate this price point range. So are we going to see the end of Ultimate in the near future?
