That only happens when Hasbro is smart enough to put some thought into a launch. Clearly there was very little thought put into this line, as evidenced by the initial case breakdowns (because having Cap, IM and Thor make up 95% of your first two waves is SMART!).

Also, street dates tend to cause the trickle-out effect, especially when the street date isn't clear, like in this case. The press release and the boxes say 2/27, but TRU's computers say 2/5. Throw into that the store managers that just don't pay attention and put it out whenever they feel like it, and you'll see stuff trickling for a few weeks. If there was no street date, stores would just be putting it out as they got it, and you'd probably see it hit most stores all in the same week, instead of spread out over a month.
