This is probably the most logical assumption based on the available information.

I also think it's a little early to be dancing on Total Heroes' grave here. Keep in mind that even though the regular and Ultra figures both carry the Total Heroes banner, they are treated as separate lines by Mattel because they are covered by different teams (retail and online, respectively).

Who knows? Maybe future Ultra figures will come to retail as deluxe releases or future store exclusives.

Interesting, because in my area they sell out all the time and have never once been on clearance or even on sale. In fact, TRU actually raised the price to $15 each.
