[Optimus Vader]

I don't really collect anything DC (Batman and Superman, but that's it) so I'm not in tune with Mattel's distribution, but I think a lot of distribution issues have to do with store managers (or who ever is ordering that store's stock) not knowing anything about toys. I don't work in retail, but I'm pretty sure what stores get is not quite the guessing game most store guys will claim it is,.. "i'm not sure when we'll get more MU in,.. the computer knows when we're low and auto-orders for us" is what TRU guy told me recently. I have two degrees; I'm no fool (just very immature), if they wanted to do whatever work was needed to get certain stock in, I'm sure they could.
