Appears the final built total for the A380 will be a bit over 250 units - word is they will build 17 more for Emirates before they shut it down (given the lead times for some components, I suspect some long lead bits for those 17 have already been started).
As for the Antonovs, SeenItAll beat me to it - they are not routinely used for scheduled freight service (and are not cost effective for such use). Rather the AN124 is basically a charter freighter - used to transport outsized items that simply don't fit in other freighter aircraft.
