I disagree. I would think Transformers would be knocking everything out of the water, when it comes to stores keeping up with it. MU is so much more niche, compaired to a big gun, like Transformers.

However, no line that I pay even remotely close attention to gets very consistant attention from retailers.

As for consistancy for putting out characters I want to see:
DCUC has been top dog in my book.
MU, given I only own five figures (And one had to get in a twopack to get the other), I'd say has had terrible track record of putting out characters I want.
Transformers is sort of halfassed. We get super obscure japanese characters like Black Shadow, but no Sludge or Arcee? For that metter, 30 years later, why do we yet to have G1 Arcee, classics or otherwise?
And Hasbro's complete disreguard for Beast Wars and the Dinobots really puts me off. As well as how severely they push Bumblebee and Optimus on us, making other figures and characters really hard to find, and clogging the shelves so retailers won't order more, gets them serious demerits.

So I'd say of everything I collect, DCUC had the best track record.
