The problem is people do stop buying them it becomes unprofitable to keep making them. The molds only last so long before the natural wear and tear of red hot metal being poured into them causes cracks and splits in the mold. At some point the amount of flash and quality of the figures declines to the point they are not able to be used.

It costs a lot of money to make a new mold so unless you you going to get a return on that money it is not worth making them. they are typically made in batches because it is not cost effective to make them on demand. The other issue is you dont want them taking up space in warehouse if they are going to take a year to sell that batch.

A new model will make mosty of its sales in the first 2-3 before it has a large drop off. It can increase with expansions or updates to the game but often people either have it or are looking at the new shiny stuff.
