It feels like the female roster basics have been selling out really quickly lately, but most of that is probably the First Time in the Line ones? (Liv is probably more her having a lot of dedicated stans.) I'm at the point where I'm preordering the women now because $20 for a basic feels better than $50-70. Naw, Tamina and Natalya are overpriced and difficult to find as well
Seriously? Oh man, I just saw a Natalya at WM. And I picked up a Tamina way back during a sale. But I guess it wouldn't be the first time something that Ringside clearanced out suddenly jumped up to a weird aftermarket price.
A number of factors combining here, I guess: 1. Women's roster collectors are an enduring niche of the base. 2. A lot of female talent only seems to show up in the basic line, with maybe one or two Elites in their career if they're lucky.
3. There's a huge gap between basics showing up online and at brick and mortar. 4. Online stores don't stock a ton of the basics compared to Elites and other collector-centric lines. Once they sell through, they're through.

Naw, Tamina and Natalya are overpriced and difficult to find as well It's not just the basics honestly. Some of the women's elites are also being some of the first to go. Right now, Liv and Stardust are the only two out of E103 on back order. Tegan Nox hit PO2 really quickly, although Solo and the regular Bron completely sold out before her. Even the AEW women seem affected. I went to get Jamie Hayter and she was only available in damaged package. Had to wait for a restock back order to get her MOC. But then, some figures like Zelina and Sonya are just sitting there. Piper and Raquel are pretty much rotting at this point. Ronda's figures in general just don't sell at all. It's sort of a crapshoot at this point. You can preorder an elite only to find out it rots so hard it goes on clearance. Or you can try and wait only to find that the basics you really wanted are only available for 70 dollars carded on ebay, shipped from the UK. (I am staring at you with loathing Toxic Attraction, why are they all in the UK???) I'm with you above. I'm preordering the women here on out. Last year's Black Friday/Cyber Monday season was lovely. So many figures for so cheap that I was buying figures exclusively for fodder and accessories. Not so much anymore. Now, I jump on them, not just women, all of them because things are selling out on preorder on a regular basis and you just never see them again. |

I’m in the Bay Area. In my constant fruitless search for Superstars (although one random Walmart had actually gotten the Outsiders/HBK series much to my shock) I do check out basics to see what there is. Usually it’s tons of red Bianca, Noam Dar, and other commons, but I did notice Edward James Omos and Candice LeRae a few weeks ago. I think that’s the most recent series that I’ve seen.

Basic distribution has been really odd, even online. Some stores on the Bay got Pat and Hogan but no one else from 139 and they didn't get 138 at all. Idk whats going on but its pretty frustrating the lack of retail getting new waves. Even Basic 129 I haven't seen out here in AZ but my buddy found me Dom before Christmas in MI.

It’s truly ridiculous how far retail is behind on basics/elites and aew figures, it’s seeming like ringside is the only place to get anything anymore which you shouldn’t have to pay $25-30 per basic to preorder just to get them

The Walmarts near me stalled at Basic 131 for six months then completely skipped over series 132 and 133 to 134.
Finding women's basic chases has been particularly difficult. It took me months to find chase Mandy, chase Scarlett, and chase Tamina.

If retail can't sell through, what's the solution? Less waves spread apart? Other?

It took me months to find chase Mandy, chase Scarlett, and chase Tamina. I don't think I've ever seen any of those at retail. And I never saw a single Tamina or Scarlett period. Usually, if there are women's basics at Walmart, it's Becky or Charlotte. Or, on the rare occasion they make her, Carmella. Carmella does NOT sell here for some reason, every time they make her, she rots. Even the Elites. |

Tegan Nox ain't getting an elite any time soon. |

A 3rd party seller on Amazon has Natalya for $17 shipped, which is (sadly) a decent price

Looks like Ringside have got new stock for 136 and prior. So I guess Mattel's production of these has been slow. Hopefully people don't FOMO on basics so I can look forward to picking some up in November sales.  |

At least in the northeast, I saw 133 on Walmart pegs this weekend as well as the Top Picks set with the "Suplex City" Lesnar figure. I thought those were almost a year old, so seems like things are backed up like mentioned before

I got these from Amazon today. The stores in my area are 4-5 waves behind on Basics.  |
