How do more characters become available to unlock?

I've got enough points to buy characters, but the slots where the characters show up for purchase are "Sold Out", but I don't have all of them yet.

The unlockable characters are in "sets". Whenever you play for a certain amount of time, or possibly whenever you beat Arcade, the current set in the store switches out. The set you currently have may be one that's sold out, so you might need to switch sets.

I think getting all the characters is more about gameplay time than it is total points or buying other stuff.

You need to buy some artwork and/or alternate character colours first. Once you have enough, you'll be able to buy more characters.
