It really varies, particularly for shows that have yet to finish being released in Japan (HxH is not this thankfully). It's going to probably be out sometime next year, that's my best guess. It'll take a while for them to get the whole show out though.

(For shows that have yet to be finished being released in Japan, typically companies have to wait at least 6 or so months after the final JPBD hits because reverse-importation fears and all that. It's especially a long wait on TBS titles as they're very, very, very paranoid about reverse-importation. Heck, that Beyond the Boundary OVA being a CE-exclusive thing was probably a restriction from TBS if Sentai wanted to bring it over.)

I actually just got into HXH and this is exciting news. The wait between seasons is going to be pretty rough. Hopefully they will eventually leases larger sets further into the release schedule.

I just started watching Hunter x Hunter on Toonami this weekend. Really love this show. It's an adventure series done the right way. I can't wait until Viz starts putting out the blu ray sets. Fantasy stories with action/adventure is exactly what got me into anime in the first place nearly 20 years ago.
