Another scenario, DCIH, The make it out to retail in moderate amounts. Do you remeber wave one? Captain Marvel, Guy Gardner, Professor Zoom and Adam Strange. How big a hit was that wave? It's STILL available at Toysrus.com. Is it any wonder that line floundered at retail? It was "distribution" it wasn't "lack of fan support ofr the line" It was a terrible selection of a substandard product at a price that at the time was higher than the other lines.

The retailers will get us the product if you make it worth the time for them to do so. Even Mattel's stuff. Let me know if you have trouble finding Qwardian Weaponers, the major retailers still have some here.

That's not exactly Mattel's distribution or case assortment, either. That kind of has nothing to do with either.
That's a different issue that, to my knowledge hasn't been brought up. Character selection. So that's not completely fair to the comment, either.

Now if the case assortment broke down to 5 qwardian weaponeers, to one Star Sapphire, then it's case assortment.
But mattel has been pretty good about making sure the case assortments are fairly even. Again, character selection is a different problem, which I never said wasn't an issue.
