My local stores keep getting in Series 60 over & Over again. I have been hunting for Series 62 since June and its almost October and I'm tired of seeing the same figs. So When Are New Basics Gonna Hit Retail?

I've seen I think 63 or whichever the Corbin Heyman series is at a couple Meijers. 62 might just get skipped in my area then.

I would be willing to see any new figures hit retail in my area. The only thing since Easter has been the Zombie figures and TNF. Basic 58 hit at Easter none since. Elite 39 is still around since February nothing since. Basic was the Adam Rose and Bunny set. For me I wouldn't mind seeing anything new.

Basics are freaking harder to find then elites! I've seen plenty of E40-42 lately & even some E43, but nothing since B61 & even B61 I've only seen at like Boscovs & Big Lots

I get at least one new series per month.

I rarely buy basics so the only time I keep an eye out for a basic series is when it's a build a figure series. However the last series I saw to hit retail around me was the series with Balors first figure.

Yeah, I believe this has been the worst year for retail since I started collecting.

I see new basics and battle packs regularly in my neck of the woods. New elites not counting the TNF ones are a rarity in the bigger chain stores though. Haven't seen Elite 41 anywhere besides TRU and Elite 42 outside of Walgreens and Gamestop.

All of my stores are stuck on basic 60-61. I heard people are finding basic63 at some wal-marts. I haven't heard of anyone in the U.S. finding basic62 anywhere. Worst year for retail since 2012 well for me anyway.

Basics come out once a month.
Battle packs come out every other month.
Elites come out every other month.
I've noticed too that stores will get in one or two cases of each on time and then are slow to restock. However, the stocking is up to the store themselves and how they receive the product from the distribution centers of theirs.
This year has been below par for the U.S. main retailers, but take a look at a store like Smyths in the U.K. they have full packed shelves with the latest figures. Smyths should be the standard for how U.S. stores are stocked.
Edit: I should add as well, this occurred to me as an after thought. To those not familiar with, or are new to collecting, the fact that Ringside has something in stock does not directly relate to it being available in retail. They intentionally get product early and its always before retail. If you see something in stock at Ringside, don't expect it to be available at retail for at least 30-60 days on average (based upon what I've seen in the past.)

I never saw B62. I saw B63 at an out of town Walmart though.

I don't know if it's impacting retail shipments, but Amazon seems to be ordering more WWE figures than they ever have before.

Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

I've yet to see B62. Walmarts are getting a bunch more of the Vince/Austin and Bushwhackers sets for Battle Packs, so I think it's going to be a while before we get Battle Packs beyond that. I actually did see E43- including Joe- at FYE but I already got him from RSC and wasn't going to pay $25 for that Elite Kevin Owens or anyone else at FYE.

Still haven't seen anything past 61 at any retail stores here. I said screw it and bought lime green Sting for $15 at a show I was at last week because I'm figuring my chances of finding it soon are between slim and none. Still hoping 63 shows up sometime though as I would like to get Sid and Heyman.

My local stores haven't stocked a regular Basic set in months. Target got one case of B61 a few months back and that's it. We have got the Zombies & SummerSlam sets, but I'm not counting them.
