Tyler,

Thank you for contacting Hasbro, Inc. regarding the availability of Marvel figures.

We are sorry for the difficulty you have had in obtaining certain products in your area. We strive to produce items to a volume that matches their national popularity. Our manufacturing process allows for all items to be shipped in assortments only.

We hope you understand that we have no control of the inventory once it is shipped to the retailers and the products are only shipped when the retailers order them. However, we are as concerned as you are about this situation. Please be assured that your comments have been shared with our Marketing and Sales Departments so that they are also aware of your concern.

We thank you for taking the time to contact us and sharing your observations.

ASSORTMENTS ONLY?! Come on now Hasbro, you can do better than that.

They don't really have a choice about the assortments.

Assortment essentially means cases. Which is how retailers order them, by the case. Hasbro doesn't ship single figures to retailers. That's why they keep doing revision cases to add the high demand figures.
