I was just thinking about how none of the stores around me ever got Basic 18 - they went straight from 17 to 19. I'm sure there have been others I've missed. Does this happen around you guys, too?

YEA! My Wal-Mart and TRU went from basic series 8 and skip all the way to series 17! This is because of where I live...

I think the TRU close to me went from Elite 13 to Elite 15, I didn't check for about a month. But I figured there would be a couple of E14 Cenas lying around, but never saw any.

My WalMart doesn't carry WWE lines other than FlaxForce & Rumblers...except for the holiday reset and then if they get a display cube. Other than that there's never basic or Elites to be found unless they are a return. As for TRU I never saw Basic 14 or Basic 15 there.

We skipped basic 8, pretty much our whole country did.

It seems like all the stores have different stuff. Not sure if Mattel plans it this way or what. I usually notice that one store will get in one basic set or elite set while another one gets different sets of each. That way each store has something unique to sell I guess and the same set of figures isnt clogging up all the shelves of all the stores, just ones stores shelfs. I rarely see ANY store in my area get any series in order. Its just usually very random.

There are a lot of sets - like the RRH series - that if there weren't a couple of shelf-warmers that hung around forever, I never would have seen them at all.

I can't say that any Elite Series was skipped but I had to drive out of my way to see E10 and E11 figures and even at that I only saw the famouse peg warmers of each set.
My area never got L6, and my TRU stopped at L3 as well as my Target
I never saw any of B15 or B18 either.

The only series I ever looked for around me (central NJ- Old Bridge) but never found was Royal Rumble Heritage which seems to be a notoriously badly-distributed set. I'm also not a hardcore figure hunter though, basically if I am at Target or Walmart to get groceries or clothing, I'll stop by the figure isle to see if they have anything I like. I recently ordered the RRH HBK (the only one I wanted from the series) from Amazon for twenty-five, but just about every other time I find what I want at retail.
On the other hand, I'm a cherry picker so I only buy maybe ten or eleven figures a year.

My area skipped Basic 8 altogether (and I live in the US!)
And we got one case of Basic 14 - needless to say, I did not get the single packed figures (the 3 I wanted, no surprise).

In my whole area the elite 11 series has not been seen at all. Everywhere it seemed that it went straight from 10 to 12.

I tend to go looking for figures about every day at various locations and my stores seem to be behind everyone else's. My Wal-Marts just got Basic 19 and Elite 14, my Toys R Us stores just got Elite 13, and surprisingly, one Target just got Elite 15 but most are still on Elite 12.
Most still have Summerslam Heritage figures and Elite 4 Finlay's though lol. Oh, and K Mart is full of Tribute to the Troops and Summerslam Heritage guys.
