I think stores only get one shipment each, and just keep giving them out until they run out. If that is true, then they might have underestimated the demand (or made it too easy to earn bonus figurines).
This series was bigger too (36 this time, compared to 24 last time)... so it would need a lot more shopping and time to collect them all, especially if you keep getting doubles and miss out on the rarer ones. This time there are a large number of specific brands that earn a bonus figure, so it doesn't require $30 for every one... some of those bonus brands have products as cheap as $1 (like the yoghurt pouches, which stores I've been to are always sold out, probably the cause of stores running out of figurines already). Essentially, you could grab 40 or 50 of the yoghurt pouches at a little over $1 each, and almost have a complete set instantly, with enough spares to trade for ones missing... but then you are paying a premium for an expensive Brand-name product that you wouldn't normally buy.
They limited the yoghurt bonus ones to 5 per shop. No waste here as my daughter loves the small.pouches of yoghurt!
I am once again saddened by how many my students (9years old) have in zip lock bags, as we all know they will.end up in landfill in another few weeks...
