The most the toy company can do is change case assortments. And in the case of DCUC, is about as good as it gets.
Case Assortment is Hasbro's problem.

I don't think that's quite fair eaither. Take Young Justice. You have a new line supported by a popular cartoon. It made it to stores, in numbers thatboth series of figures were readily available. Then they ship out the same thing. Now they have peg afte peg of captain atom and aqualad and Mattel wants to release wave two. Is it suprising that reatliers said "umm. no thanks".

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.
