Divas fall into the same line as Legends. They're not wanted by the casual collector. Its mostly a niche market that buys them Except that divas are actually on TV every week. I think Kelly Kelly has much more selling power than Dusty Rhodes, and that's why Dusty is shelf warming at Big Lots and Kelly is going for $50+ on Ebay. That's not a fair comparison. There has been what, one Kelly Kelly figure that came out a year ago which was short packed and under produced. It's not like if tomorrow Mattel came out with a series that had Kelly Kelly two to a case, that the figure would be flying off the shelves. Just because the figure is expensive doesn't mean there's high demand for it, it could also mean a very low supply.

I got mine from Ringside for $35 and although the figure isn't exactly great, I made the price simply because I didn't want to deal with the headache of finding her at retail, and I was very happy I did that because since they hit stores in Early December last year I have not seen her ONCE at any store i've gone to, shes always the only one missing

I saw her once and snagged it right away. But I have yet to see Zeke in stores. Thank God I had preordered one months ago.
Good thing that's at Walmart, cause I may need to buy a kayak since the shelves are flooded with Truth, Morrison, Taker, & Rey.

I found her once I still need to track another down for my open collection. My walmart sucks though I'm sure next X-mas they will finally put out basic 13.

Regardless of the sales of any individual Diva, Mattel will keep making them as they know collectors like them.
Mattel has also stated the women sell well enough in the numbers produced that they will be kept in store assortments, & not made online exclusives.
While certain figures may not sell as well depending where you live & how many cases your stores order in, Mattel looks at a much bigger picture.
I have always supported the Divas being 1 per case. I recall Jakks saying to us back around 2003 when we barely had 2 or 3 Diva figures coming out per year:
Fans: "Why no Divas?"
Jakks: "Unless we shortpack such releases they don't sell through".
To which we responded:
"Then shortpack them...."
The women may not be easy to find for everyone, but atleast at limited case ratio's the toy companies do not have to sweat their sales & seem happy to include them in every other wave.

Give it a while. All Divas go up in value over time, regardless of the name

Vickie is shipping in the current Wal-Mart WWE cube drop with several Vickie's on one side of the cube. That cube is the equivalent of about 4 cases worth of figures being put out at once, so Vickie is temporarily easy to find at Wal-Mart. That won't last, and I don't anticipate it being "easy" to get her at any other store.

I've seen the whole series, except Vickie. Though, even if I do find Vickie, I won't buy her, because I'm not interested in it at all. The figure or the character.

I bought my Vickie online before Christmas and I have yet to see her in stores. So I made the right move buying her online

vickie hasnt been hard for me to find in my area. But just like any female mattel has released including vickie get bought within a day or 2 at the most. I know if i was a little kid and i hated vickie I would want to buy her right away to beat up on her.
