Toys R Us and specialty stores. Series 1 launched well before the vault hunters were solicited (series 1 being Claptrap and a Psycho Bandit) and in that series' performance Claptrap blew the everliving shit out of the Psycho's sales. Stores then, such as Toys R Us, interpreted this as meaning that human characters from the franchise wouldn't sell so they were the ones who turned down the Zer0 and Salvador shown at conventions. They weren't just fine with getting nothing but Claptrap variants, they outright asked for it. This was all relayed pretty transparently to the community through Randy back when it was happening because of how many people asked what was going on with the line.
